Still Life with Collie: A Memoir

Still Life with Collie is the warm, engaging story of a dog and her master. From her early days as a frisky pup, through her years as a fiercely loyal companion, to her last struggling hours, Misha insisted on being a viable force in the life of the author. This book is their story, filled with spurts of humor and moments of sadness and melancholy. The author recounts her life with rich anecdote and wry observation, chronicling a dog's story and its impact on the lives of those who knew her. Misha became an emphatic presence in so many lives, a dog who demanded she always be the cynosure of local attention. It obviously worked because her owner was compelled to pen an entire book about her. Doubtless Misha would be pleased, though not surprised.
