A BIG LITTLE LIFE: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog Named Trixie by Dean Koontz (Video Trailer)

In a profound, funny, and beautifully rendered portrait of a beloved companion, bestselling novelist Dean Koontz remembers the golden retriever who changed his life. A retired service dog, Trixie was three when Dean and his wife, Gerda, welcomed her into their home. She was superbly trained, but her greatest gifts couldn't be taught: her keen intelligence, her innate joy, and an uncanny knack for living in the moment. Whether chasing a tennis ball or protecting those she loved, Trixie gave all she had to everything she did, inspiring Dean and Gerda to trust their instincts and recapture a sense of wonder that will remain with them always. Trixie lived fewer than twelve years; in this wide world, she was a little thing. But in every way that mattered, she lived a big life.

I wish we had a bookstore with Dean Koontz books in it! I get totally engulfed by the magnificent use of words - when I read Koontz books, it's as if I am living in the moments as they are being described in the books. Absolutely amazing! No other books I've read have captured my attention as much as yours have........thanks Mr Koontz!

This was one of the best books written about companion dogs. Mr. Koontz's honest and open narrative about Trixie had such an impact on me, I actually wrote him a letter, but never sent it. While I am a diehard Koontz fan anyway, A Big Little Life will remain my favorite!

We never forget our loved ones, whether human or otherwise. I can't imagine not having known and loved the special companions in my life.

Hey Dean, I am an UBER-fan (Lightning & One Door Away From heaven are two of my favorite writs of all time) and would be deeply honored to do voice-overs for you/your sites, etc. Please feel free to send me a msg through YT for my demos & contact info. - Voicetube (Ari)
