Bodie on the Road: Travels with a Rescue Pup in the Dogged Pursuit of Happiness

“Pages of pleasure for anyone who’s ever wanted to drop everything, pack up the car, grab the dog, and leave” (Dogs Monthly).
 
Bodie, mystery mix rescue pup, is on death row in a Los Angeles dog shelter, having been abandoned by his owner. Belinda, a heartbroken woman, is in a heap on the floor of her vintage apartment, having been dumped by the man of her dreams. Two lost souls ready to find a new life—together.
 
Belinda falls in love with Bodie the moment he plants his furry butt on her bare, flip-flopped foot. Soon, the two embark on a two-thousand-mile West Coast road trip, taking in spectacular Big Sur, a pack run in the wilds of Oregon, afternoon cocktail at Doris Day’s dog-loving hotel in Carmel, a fragrant encounter with the creator of Kennel No. 5 furfume, and a bar stop in a small town near San Francisco where a dog was elected mayor and served for thirteen years.
 
On their soul-searching adventure, Belinda and Bodie cruise along the Pacific Coast Highway, heading toward Portland, Oregon—repeatedly voted one of the most dog-friendly cities in America. Join Belinda and Bodie on this feel-good road trip, and you, too, can feel the wind in your hair and a wag in your tail . . .
