About The Author
David Emerson Trim
Not long ago, David and his wife Christine were rescued by a 6-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Bowzer. He was the fourth Berner dog to come in and out of their family over 25 years.
This fella was a brilliant and creative boy. A great communicator. Not coincidentally, David soon decided to write a book about a dog that learns to speak English through the help of an exceptional young man on the autism spectrum. Together, they challenge lots of our assumptions about human superiority through a dog’s point of view. Bowzer was by David’s side over three years inspiring every corner of this saga set in a fictional version of David’s home town. Now, Bowzer has moved on to some other mission somewhere out there in the universe.
If I were pulling the cosmic strings on this story I’m fixin’ to lay out, I doubt if I would’ve picked this little old town. If I was in charge of diving into the nature of things and challenging humans’ precious little idea that you’re the most important thing in the universe, I think I would have had enough sense to do it somewhere more important. London. Jerusalem. Fort Worth.
What People Say
I love Lido and Danny. It was brilliant that “nothing heals being shot in the ear like a cold Lonestar and some Mexican dip.” Holy smoke! It’s really special and amazing.
Mind-blowing! Its one-of-a-kind narrator explores love, loss, family, small town ways and the bond between humans and animals through a very special, highly engaging lens.
So funny and insightful! A dog that not only speaks English, but is eloquent, observant, and knowledgeable about everything from football to Einstein—it’s just great fun.
So intelligent and fierce but dealt with such kindness. Instantly lovable. You’ve already altered my relationships with my dogs and cats.
Love the dogs in the kennel, and in the scrub. The shorthand that dogs have. Love the spiritual aspect of blue dogs. And timelessness. Really good premise. Bravo.
