Synopsis

1ST PLACE WINNER 2018 Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Award for Animals & Pets Non-fiction"Adventures with Durango Pete beautifully illustrates that relationships, regardless of complexities, all have the potential to develop and grow. Read this book."-- Joyce Leake, Internationally known animal communicator and authorStephen and his wife, Cynthia, went to a puppy adoption event near their Colorado home to look at a terrier. Instead, the tiny squeaks begging for attention came from an 8-week-old cattle dog crying, "Pick me up!" Stephen did. The puppy licked him up the nose, across his cheeks, and in his ears. The deal was sealed. Durango Pete had a new dad and Stephen was in for a wild ride. Durango Pete and Stephen were soon locked into a battle of wills. The struggle for power and control is a quintessential human fight. It turned out to be the same for a man and his new dog. After months of frustration - desperation even - a simple game of tug-of-war was the turning point. Adventures with Durango Pete is the story of how two stubborn souls found each other and discovered what a dog can teach an old man, and he a dog. Join them on the dusty trails and mountain peaks, and find the joy that blossoms from a true partnership of souls.
