A Lost Dog Finds Cat Paradise - Hardcover

by Bob Walker (Author)

Arriving home from a filling Mexican dinner, Bob Walker and Frances Mooney were greeted in the driveway by a starving chihuahua puppy; it jumped up and down at their legs, seeking food and shelter. Just the day before, the couple had adopted two neighborhood kittens, Willow and Zander, increasing their family to ten felines. They didn't need another critter to feed or try to train, especially a dog! After an unsuccessful search to find the lost puppy's home, Bob and Frances adopted adorable Sadie, the purr-fect dog that they didn't know they needed.

The couple did not expect that introducing a dog smaller than the cats would have such an outsized effect on their "cat paradise." The Cats' House had become a media attraction for crews because of its trendsetting, room-to-room overhead catwalk that Bob and Frances had personally constructed and installed. Sadie immediately made an impact on all inhabitants, claiming cat toys as dog toys, and gathering all playthings into her custody for safekeeping. The cats could have the ceiling. Sadie owned the floor and toys.

Three and a half years of photo-hounding Sadie, Willow, Zander, and the resident felines created A Lost Dog Finds Cat Paradise: Tails of Love and Mischief; a chronicle of their growth, joyful play, countless nips and dreamy naps. The captivating visual narrative is a loving homage to Sadie, the lost and starving puppy who head-over-tail charmed her unsuspecting adopted family.
