From the moment his new golden retriever puppy jumped into his arms, Edward Grinnan and his wife, Julee, were in love with her. Edward didn't know it yet, but Millie would change his life. In this moving memoir, Edward Grinnan writes about his life with Millie--from their first joyous meeting, through her struggle with cancer, and eventual, heartbreaking death. Edward shares how her sensitivity, unconditional love, and innate goodness helped him discover those qualities in himself and put his complicated past in perspective. Edward also shares the lessons he's learned from other dogs he's loved--like Pete, a poodle his father bought him in the wake of his brother's death; Rudy, who introduced him to his wife; Sally Browne, a mischievous cocker spaniel who befriended the homeless in his neighborhood; and Marty, a hundred-pound Labrador whose behavioral issues challenged his and Julee's marriage--as well as lessons he's learned from the celebrated dog stories in Guideposts magazine. Poignant and insightful, Always By My Side is an inspiring book that explores the unbreakable bond between man and dog, how faith shapes our love for our dogs and how our dogs shape our faith"-- 600 10 $a Grinnan, Edward 600 10 $a Grinnan, Edward $x Philosophy 650 0 $a Golden retriever $z United States 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z United States 650 0 $a Dogs $x Therapeutic use $z United States 650 0 $a Recovering addicts $z United States $v Biography 650 0 $a Compassion 651 0 $a Dog owners $z United States $v Biography 941 $a 23 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710035401.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013536.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202013934.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012319.0 952 $l BXPC851 $d 20221103010328.0 952 $l AHPD597 $d 20210723013152.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20191008012813.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20190123011606.0 952 $l DEPA173 $d 20181212172456.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006105427.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030336.0 952 $l NDPD953 $d 20180906033003.0 952 $l MNPB553 $d 20180906025736.0 952 $l SUPC124 $d 20180807071051.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20180303010119.0 952 $l BLPC611 $d 20170920011046.0 952 $l WQPA215 $d 20170906173710.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20170819010840.0 952 $l DHPB993 $d 20170720011137.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20170523022901.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170512010419.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170407011004.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20170401010617.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA4161BC16A011E79DE0D5C5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
