Product Description
Named for her first home, remote Lonesome Lake in British Columbia s Tweedsmuir Park, Lonesome was a first-rate companion: obedient, mannerly, brave, and occasionally cynical. She did not share her human s love of the wilderness, and wore a martyred expression for most of her life. She would have much preferred a life in the suburbs, "with nice safe walks in the park and a cozy bed inside the house." "Any dog worth her milk bones," Lonesome writes, "must accept her lot in life fording rivers, swimming lakes, camping out in bitter weather and, worst of all, bears. Yes, bears. It s a wonder I am still around to tell this tale." Lonesome s memoirs paint a vivid picture of her life with Chris, but "I am not a vindictive creature and this book will remain family reading." She focuses on events not already recounted in Chris s books and, as she loftily points out in her introduction, on sharing her unique dog s perspective on their day-to-day life in the wilds.

A wonderful dog stort May 20, 2005
Marian Wersch (Southern Ontario)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have just finished reading this beautiful book with tears in my eyes.
I lived the life of the dog all the way through, perhaps because I had a dog so much like Lonesome, only she was a house dog and spoilt, Some dogs are so intelligent and always faithful.
It is a butifully written story, very descriptive and you feel you are there. But I am a wilderness lover despite the fact that I grew up alone with my parents in the "Bush" and still love it.
A must read for anyone who loves dogs or the wilderness
