Clueless Gringos in Paradise: adventures with my husband, his PTSD, and two giant service dogs

Mel Brooks claims that "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

Author Pamela Foster and her Vietnam Veteran husband, Jack, sell everything they own, pick up the leashes of two 150-pound service dogs, and emigrate to the "tropical paradise" they expect to find in Panama. Jack is a former Marine with raging PTSD, and the service dogs are mastiffs who are never further away than the end of a leash.
The story takes readers through a hilarious and harrowing journey in airplanes, taxis, high-rise hotels, buses, boats, restaurants and cat-infested fish markets. Add a liberal dose of high anxiety - how could t not be hilarious?

"If you enjoy funny memoirs, you'll love Clueless Gringos in Paradise. This book is unique with a fitting title, and it's refreshing to find a writer who can laugh at herself in a nearly impossible situation.
"The author's humorous voice and talent for storytelling makes readers giggle at parts and erupt into laughter at others . . . one of the funniest memoirs I've read in a long time."
