The book that I am reviewing today is one of the best dog books that I have read in a long time. "Free Days With George" by Colin Campbell tells the story of how a Newfoundland dog helped make a depressed man's life better.
Colin was living a good life. He had a good job, and he was married to the woman of his dreams. However, one night, Colin's wife told him she didn't want to be married anymore. Colin's world changed overnight.
During the period after his wife left, Colin started to just go through the motions of life, and he was depressed. A friend of his suggested getting a dog. Colin found a big Newfoundland dog that had been rescued. This dog needed a home.
Colin went to look at the big dog and found out that the dog, who he would name George, was depressed as well. George had had some bad experiences in his early life. Colin and George would have to work together to make a better life for themselves.
One of the best sections of this book deals with Colin's time with George in obedience classes. At first, it seemed like the classes would be a big disaster. But, with patience, George started to get the hang of things.
George and Colin started to get along well, and everything was going better. Then, Colin received the news that his company was transferring him from Toronto to California. Colin, George and Colin's best friend set out on a road trip to California.
George and Colin would find true joy in California. They took up surfing together, and spent many days having fun on the beach and in the waves. George would also compete in a dog surfing competition.
"Free Days With George" is a book that really shows how a relationship with a dog can change your life. It is a book about having fun in life and finding your way to joy. I highly recommend "Free Days With George."
