Dean Koontz
In a profound, funny, and beautifully rendered portrait of a beloved companion, best-selling novelist Dean Koontz remembers the golden retriever who changed his life.
A retired service dog, Trixie was three when Dean and his wife, Gerda, welcomed her into their home. She was superbly trained, but her greatest gifts couldn’t be taught: her keen intelligence, her innate joy, and an uncanny knack for living in the moment. Whether chasing a tennis ball or protecting those she loved, Trixie gave all she had to everything she did, inspiring Dean and Gerda to trust their instincts and recapture a sense of wonder that will remain with them always. Trixie lived fewer than 12 years; in this wide world, she was a little thing. But in every way that mattered, she lived a big life.

Where does A Big Little Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one my favorite books, partly because it was true. Knowing dogs as I do I found the description of dog's personality completely believable. She was in deed a cut above the norm. A "special" dog.What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the responsibility and dedication that Dean and Girda had towards their "girl', their "daughter", aka their dog. I have experienced this same love, loyalty and dedication in my life with my dogs- my best friends. Dogs are in deed man's best friend. It was wonderful to relive some of those beautiful and amazing moments.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have listened to this in one siting if it was possible.Any additional comments?
When this book first started I was afraid it was going to be a disappointment, but I hung in there, and am glad I did. It was good all the way through; and had a great ending with thought provoking ideas in the last chapters especially- invoking amazement and wonder...A story that will tear at your heart strings.
