Book

Three wild dogs (and the truth) : a memoir / Markus Zusak ; illustrations by Daniel New.

Zusak, Markus, (author.). New, Daniel, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs -- Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm? The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed. There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love -- and the joy and recognition of family. Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty -- but also the visceral truth of the natural world -- straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever." -- Provided by publisher.
