The Particulars of Peter: Dance Lessons, DNA Tests, and Other Excuses to Hang Ou

Description: The Particulars of Peter by Kelly Conaboy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From one of the Internets most original voices, a hilarious journey through the odd corners of obsessive dog ownership and the authors own infatuation with her perfect dog Peter. Publisher Description "This might be one of the months, if not the years, sweetest books - zaniest, too." -The Washington Post"A hilarious addition to the dogoir canon." -People"Perhaps the greatest love story ever told." -Refinery29"The feel-good book the world needs." -PopSugar The author met Peter in the spring of 2017. He -- calm, puppy-eyed, with the heart of a poet and the soul of, also, a poet -- came to her first as a foster. He was unable to stay with his previously assigned foster for reasons that are none of your business, but which we will tell you were related to frequent urination. The rescue needed someone free of the sort of responsibilities that would force her to regularly leave the house for either work or socializing, and a writer was the natural choice. Thus began a love story for the ages. The Particulars of Peter is a funny exploration of the joy found in loving a dog so much it makes you feel like youre going to combust, and the authors potentially codependent relationship with her own sweet dog, Peter. Readers will follow Peter and his owner to Woofstock, "the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America," and accompany them to lessons in Canine Freestyle, a sport where dogs perform a routine set to music, creating the illusion that theyre dancing with their owners. From learning about Peters DNA, to seeing if dogs can sense the presence of ghosts, The Particulars of Peter will give readers a smart, entertaining respite from the harsh world of humans into the funny little world of dogs.Readers will accompany this lovable duo through exciting trips, lessons, quiet moments of connection, and probably a failure or two. By fusing memoir and infotainment, The Particulars of Peter promises to refresh the perennially popular dog lit category in a scrumptiously bighearted barnstormer of a book.
