About the Book A Walk in the Countryside came about through my walks with my dog and best friend, Jackson. I always wondered how he perceived of the world of humans with their strange beliefs and odd customs and traditions. I wondered if our lives could derive some meaning if seen from a dog's point of view. Through this lens we discuss life's mundane moments as well as the major passages and all in the attempt to help Jackson understand our world. Of course, he helps me understand his and continually helps me see that our view is not the only one worth considering. If you've ever owned a dog, a cat or any pet for that matter, I think you'll immediately be drawn into Jackson's world.
