Over the weekend I read an interesting book about a rescue terrier named Como. The book 'Come Back Como' by Steve Winn was an easy read and brought back memories of my dogs, which made me both laugh and cry. Dakota was a master escape artist and Lenny isn’t good at recall and I worry when he's off lead. Anyone reading this book will find one or two things they will identify with. It's not only the antics of Como that are entertaining, but also his interactions with family and friends. The book contains the author’s interpretation of other families’ relationships with dogs as well. It's a great read for anyone who loves dogs, has dogs, or is thinking about getting a dog.
The author was not ready for Como and it took quite some time, but both dog and owner have found peace. It would be interesting to know what the Dog Whisperer would have suggested, because I think some trouble stemmed from the owners feelings and actions. If you don’t like a dog, they know it. In Steve Winn’s case, fate and a very determined little girl intervened; now there is one less homeless dog in the world.
