It’s A Dog-Gone Good Life is a delightful collection of poems. In it author Judy Slater professes her love for all animals, but dog-gone it, if she had to choose she would become the loyal and loving canine. It hasn’t always been the good life for Judy, but the love from her many pooches throughout the years has given her much joy. As a girl, the sadness over her father’s death was eased by a surprise gift from her mother, a little toy poodle named Coco. Coco helped her through many years of suffering from Dystonia, a neuro-muscular disorder. She learned that although the world perceived her as “different,” her dogs only saw her as an object of love--without flaws, disabilities or drawbacks—a thing of perfection! Judy has assembled a wonderful tribute to the four-legged objects of her affections. Artist Florie Freshman depicts each poem in beautiful illustration.
