Cheaper By The Dozen?
New York, N.Y. It began as a child with Brian, a shelter dog my mom got for me to help me weather their divorce. But on the day we were moving, Brian ran away never to be found. Fast forward a lifetime, and I am with my second partner and we manage to adopt four dogs, two dachshunds, a one-eyed poodle, and a crazed Yorkie who had been raised on New York streets by a homeless man.
Then, I wrote an essay for the Huffington Post, Looking for the World’s Best Pooch. And from that tiny acorn a might oak has truly grown. We now have a dozen dogs, each one completely unique from the other. Allow me to introduce them to you.
