Her motto: \" Let Me Hold Your Paw and Help.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Anna' advice to owners is: \"Read this book and get a clue about what your dogs really think of you!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here's a special message from Anna:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDear Person,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMy dad, Dean Koontz, is a writer, as you might be aware. For years his first golden retriever, Trixie, also wrote books, which sometimes made the best-seller list. I vowed never to be a writer.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eI barely have enough time for all the belly rubs, ball chasing, bird chasing, tug-of-war, and posing cutely that is required of me as a golden retriever, not to mention all of my non-professional interests, such as the new translation of Proust that I have undertaken, and learning to pilot a hot-air balloon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNevertheless, I have written a book of advice for dogs. It's not a matter of ego, which anyone who knows a golden retriever will attest. It's not about money, because all the earnings I receive from ASK ANNA will be given to Canine Companions for Independence, which provides assistance dogs for people with disabilities. What it's about is giving back to my community--which I feel obliged to do especially because of all the park grass I've ruined with little round brown spots.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThank you for your support.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Center Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134880334064,"sku":"9781455589678","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455589678_p0.jpg?v=1763855561","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455589678","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
