"Doggie Heaven Does Exist!"
"I'm beginning to understand it all and there are
some things I'm hoping, by sheer dogmatic will,
I can get you to realize."
And so Dallas, the most notable and quotable dog of his era, an era where dogs reached their free roamin' evolutionary peak, attempts to recount his glorious life with a new heavenly perspective.
Sherburne, New York, in the mid 1970's was the last boy/dog era where real life existed outside in open space. A time before leash laws, cable TV and the internet. A time when a dog was free to chase, hump and fight to his hearts content. Dallas and his doggie "partners in crime" lived by the credo of "dog lovin' chaos" and the village still bellows over countless tales years after their passing.
The Dogs of Sherburne were real and author, Tom Mody, has taken accounts of their exploits from their Masters and his own disbelieveing eyes. The stories are woven into a fictional struggle for their continued freedom. Dallas also shares his perspectives in mini satirical commentaries as Mody embellishes a decade of societal changes through his dog's after-life revelations.

The new Facebook fan page is up and in it's infancy. Just scroll down this page a touch and to the left you can like us and get Dogs of Sherburne news feeds and I'm sure many interesting dog stories from Sherburne residents.
The First proof of the 6x9 softcover has arrived and the cover is just beautiful. I do need to make some text formatting changes and of course have caught a couple more typos. I suspect the first 100 prints will still have a typo here and there so I hope my readers will let me know each and every one. Joyce Zummo of The Arts Council did a great job proofing it for me but still it's amazing what can slip by.
