What if the dog you thought you were rescuing turned out to be the one who rescued you?
When Dominick adopted Romeo through Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, Romeo had just turned fifteen. He knew adopting a senior dog meant their time together might be short.
What he didn't know was that Romeo had absolutely no intention of acting old.
Romeo claimed the cat tree on his first day home. He slept in bed every night, rode shotgun wherever they went, became a regular at Starbucks, demanded pup cups, wore holiday sweaters, issued instructions through strategically deployed barks, and occasionally acknowledged the existence of other dogs.
A friend eventually gave him the perfect nickname: the Benjamin Button of dogs.
But beneath Romeo's enormous personality is a story about something much deeper.
During a difficult period of depression, Dominick discovered that this funny little senior dog had quietly become an anchor. Romeo didn't magically fix everything. Instead, he offered something simpler and more powerful: a reason to get out of bed, open the door, take a drive, laugh, connect, and participate in life again.
Romeo Has Entered the Building is a funny, tender, and deeply personal memoir about three extraordinary years with a very old dog who was nowhere near finished living.
It is also a love letter to senior rescue and to the animals whose gray faces and advanced ages can cause them to be overlooked.
Romeo's story asks us to reconsider the question we so often ask when thinking about adopting an older animal.
Instead of asking, “How much time does this dog have?”
Perhaps we should ask:
“What could we do with the time we have?”
For anyone who has ever loved a dog, lost a dog, adopted a senior animal, or discovered that sometimes the smallest creature can occupy an enormous place in your life, this is Romeo's story.
He was adopted at fifteen.
He lived to eighteen.
And there was nothing “only” about those three years.
Open the door. You never know who might enter the building.
