Puppy Chow is Better than Prozac
I have just finished reading this thoroughly entertaining, sometimes sad, book by Bruce Goldstein
It’s a real life story of how Bruce, a whiz in the advertising world, living on the Island of Manhattan, managed to work through life with bipolar manic depression, not to mention Crohn’s disease.
From an emotional break up, visits from Satan, to Psychologist, then Psychiatrist, onto Lithium and then Ozzy!
Ozzy (Originally named Christopher – The Special one) now named after the Black Sabbath front man, was a 6 and a half week old Black Labrador Retriever that turned Bruce’s life up side down – “He was more than a dog”. “He was a messenger from God”.
Bruce quickly learned that dogs live in the moment, and that he had a lot to learn from Ozzy, which would hopefully make his journey through this life a little easier, and that the more love he gave to Ozzy the more love he’d receive back.
I think that is something that us dog lovers sometimes forget, and if we are to be honest about it, the only reason our dogs may misbehave is because we haven’t shown or trained them how to react any differently
This book sits comfortably in the same space as, The Art Of Racing In The Rain, Marley etc, and all that’s left to say is check out the website www.puppychowisbetterthanprozac.com and go and treat yourself to a copy !

Hi, my name is Bruce Goldstein. I’m the author of PUPPY CHOW IS BETTER THAN PROZAC.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review.
Unfortunately we lost Ozzy last year, but his memory lives on forever.
Woof!

Hello Bruce,
My name is Josephine (I am Paul Barry’s wife from Pedigreedogs.ie) you contacted Paul a few months back on Twitter about your wonderful book. When Paul finished the book and raved about it so much I couldn’t wait to read it Bruce. I just finished it recently and it was a fantastic read from start to finish. It made me laugh and cry, I can relate to what joy and pleasure a dog can bring to your life Bruce, as we are the owners of 4 standard smooth Dachshunds and we just adore them. I am so glad Bruce that Ozzy came into your life just when you needed him most, he was definitely an angel sent to help you through a difficult time in your life. You will never forget him, I hope you will get yourself another dog, Ozzy cannot be replaced but nothing beats the love and companionship of owning a dog.
Once again Bruce thank you for such a fantastic read. I have recommended the book to all my friends.
