"A German Shepherd Tells the Story of His Life -- A Life Filled with Joy and Tragedy." The author was a documentary film producer/director, who called upon his "years of experience with German shepherds" to channel his inner dog and produce this first-canine narrative, that encompasses everything from Trooper's "tangles with rose bushes, traffic, ocean waves, and criminals to moments of tenderness, sorrow, joy, and fear. [It's] more than another interesting animal story: it is a testament to love and enduring qualities that are characteristic of relationships grounded in devotion." . (Inventory #: 24584)
