I Bought a Dog and Lost My Wife 

An estimated 62 percent of United States homes have dogs. Thats close to 72.9 million homes. More than 83 million dogs are owned in the United States. Author Mike Brower is one of those owners. In I Bought a Dog and Lost My Wife, he shares the story of how he became a dog owner and the positive impact it made on his life.

With a humorous approach, Brower narrates his experiences with Abby and Dylan, Havana Silk dogs. When he first brought Abby home as an eleven-week-old puppy, he couldnt have imagined the affect the dog would have. From eating habits, to bed and sleep, to grooming, apparel, toys, and training, this memoir recounts a host of situations where owning dogs changed Browers outlook.

With photos included, I Bought a Dog and Lost My Wife communicates the joys of pet ownership and how getting a dog was one of Browers best decisions.
