More Good Dogs: More Stories About Good Dogs and the People Who Love Them

Rabbit Redbone opens with memories of a small 1970s radio call-in program called All Good Dogs, where listeners shared stories about their pets. Before that, he had built a modest local following, and later he cooked at a children's day camp. He recalls the opening line he used for each broadcast, which explained his nickname and his lifelong fondness for every kind of dog, from barkers to couch potatoes. Behind each story lies a family history and a bond between people and their animals. This follow-up gathers more of those tales, offering warm, humorous glimpses into the everyday lives of dogs and their owners.
