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 !
