Tails from the B Side is a dog's-eyed view of life from our narrator, Beowulf, a lovable and hilarious canine, who give readers his everyday observations of living with an anxious human in a quirky world. As a therapy dog and “reading tutor,” Beowulf has insights into humans, both large and small, and his furry friends keep him on his toes, getting him into all manner of comical situations! Written in short story format, we travel alongside Beowulf from the beginning of his unexpected cancer treatment to beyond the rainbow bridge, as his human companion clearly needs some help navigating the world. Along the way, we meet the characters who make up the stuff of everyday life, and end up being unexpected teachers and guides. Tails from the B Side is incredibly funny, heartfelt, and offers a rare insight into us humans from the viewpoint of a dog.
