“Nobody Told Me My Legs Don’t Work: Journey of a Down Dog” is more than just a memoir. It’s a raw, humorous, and deeply moving story of resilience in the face of life’s most unexpected challenges.
This unforgettable book is the true story of a spirited dog whose world changed in an instant after a spinal stroke left her back legs paralyzed. With every page, you’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear as the author shares moments of vulnerability, strength, and unshakable hope.
Through relatable stories, witty insights, and emotional honesty, this book becomes a companion for anyone facing obstacles—big or small. It isn’t just for dog lovers — it’s for anyone who's ever faced a challenge that changed everything. With tail wags, wheelchair zoomies, and plenty of soulful reflections, this story is a celebration of spirit, second chances, and the healing power of love.
For those who’ve stumbled, fallen, or faced the unthinkable—this down dog reminds us all that you don’t need four working legs to keep moving forward.
Booklife Critic's Report: Yates's prose is engaging and handles Keegan's journey with obvious love and compassion. Despite his rose-colored glasses, he also manages to capture the heartrending realities of caring for a "down dog" and does not hold back on the challenges he, his family, and especially Keegan, have to overcome.
An ode to a loved one--in this case, a beloved pet--is not unfamiliar territory, especially when it comes to tales of overcoming adversity. However, any reader--even those without pets--will be touched and charmed by this heartfelt tale that highlights the unique bond that exists between people and their pets.
Yates does a wonderful job of exploring Keegan's journey through his own firsthand experiences--trials, tribulations, and victories included. However, he also manages to capture Keegan's spirit as well without being overly sappy or anthropomorphic--and the reader can easily forgive him when he does lapse into sappiness, as Keegan (and Yates himself) are so deeply relatable.
Nobody Told Me My Legs Don't Work was a finalist for the 2019 High Country Indie Book Literary Award.
