Be More Dog: Learning to Live in the Now
READ AND DOWNLOAD
Many people dream of a magic reset button. With one touch, it would instantly change their
circumstances and create a more fulfilling life. What they don’t realize is that life provides plenty of
opportunities to change direction, but few of us heed the signs showing us the way. For workaholic
entrepreneurs Jim and Rene, their sign came as a cancer diagnosis. After growing their homebased
business for ten years, their heart and soul dog, Jerry, had a front leg amputated because
of bone cancer. Vets said their time together was running out. They decided to make the most of
it. Acting quickly, they sold their home, their business, and nearly everything they owned. They
bought a new RV and made Jerry a promise: “Stay with us long enough, and we’ll take you on the
road trip of a lifetime!” By the time they hit the road to travel the country together as a pack, Jerry
had already outlived his original prognosis. Their full-time RVing travels took them from northern
California through the southwest desert, to the Atlantic coast in Maine, down to Florida and back to
the top of the world in the Rocky Mountains. For two years they experienced many adventures,
with Jerry leading the way and showing the world that it’s better to hop on three legs than to limp
on four. Their nomadic lifestyle breathed new life into the happy dog, who generously shared
important life lessons along the way. Once they opened their eyes to how he lived each day to the
fullest, everything looked different. Their reset button was pressed. “Be More Dog” is more than a
memoir about a three-legged dog on an epic road trip. It is a mantra to live by, and this book is the
guide. This heartwarming tale is filled with deep meaning. Through his actions and attitude in the
face of adversity, Jerry shows Jim and Rene how important it is to live in the now – to persevere
when the going gets tough, to never give up, and that every day is a great day, no matter what life
throws your way. Includes Foreword and original illustration by MUTTS creator Patrick McDonnell.
