“Prepare to laugh, cry, and smile with satisfaction as you follow Fitzgerald’s heartwarming stories. Hilarious, playful, and outright adorable…the book has an instantly uplifting effect that keeps you floating every time you remember it.” — Foluso Falaye, Readers' Favorite Five-Star Review Every dog deserves the happily ever after of a fairy-tale life, preferably without first being turned into a footman for a cucurbit carriage. After all, it’s no picnic getting post-midnight pumpkin slime out of those harder-to-reach furry places. (Not to suggest that pre-midnight slime is magically self-cleansing, at least not without the benefit of a wand-wielding godmother.) Yet, even servant to a fresh-off-the-vine conveyance beats the fate of many dogs. All too often, wonderful animals end up at the mercy of the evil queens, the wicked stepmothers, the big bad wolves, and other nefarious villains. The Sun Orbits My Dog is the lively narrative of three such animals—dogs who, by no fault of their own, had only experienced the cruel beginnings inflicted upon fairy tale protagonists. Maybe they’d dreamed of better days. Maybe they’d forgotten how to dream. Ultimately, however, they discovered true love—each adopted by a family that was neither evil nor wicked, neither bad nor nefarious, but decidedly eccentric and doggedly devoted. For Jake, Sadie, and Georgiana, this is where their waggly-tailed tales begin. Told in a style that is, at once, self-deprecating and humorous, poignant and relatable, former journalist J. B. Fitzgerald regales readers with twenty years of dog-parenting anecdotes: the laughter and excitement, the hardships and fears, and, of course, an array of comically undignified mishaps as she nurtures three very different souls through their unique challenges and watches them grow out of their sorrow and into infinitely happy and loving companions. This illustrated edition features more than 130 artistically displayed photographs. “...J.B. Fitzgerald’s warmth and affection for these companions can be felt in every sentence of this book...if ever there was a literary advocate for adopting a dog from your local shelter, it is The Sun Orbits My Dog...” — K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Five-Star Review
