October 23^rd at 5:00 PM Steve Duno will be at Sunriver Books & Music for a presentation of Last Dog On The Hill.

Sometimes, if you look carefully and you are very lucky, you will see all your promise reflected back to you in the eyes of a dog, a dog that sees in you qualities you did not feel confident you possessed. They know, these dogs, they look at you and challenge you to be better than you thought you could, to grab life in great big gulps, and to love without condition. Steve met such a dog driving through the Redwood Forest with his girlfriend. His heart was hijacked by a homeless tick infested pup. This dog he named Lou would change Steve’s life. Plucked from his pack, trundled off to LA where he makes pals with street gangs and sits on the table to watch the city lights, Lou took to life in LA but always kept his wild dignity. He was Steve’s best friend, his companion, and his co-worker as Steve became a dog trainer. Lou brought a little cheer into the grim lives of Alzheimer patients, comforted war veterans, and did therapy with people in need of a bit of canine compassion. From LA Steve and Lou make their way north to Seattle and a career in dog training, where they saved many an aggressive dog. Gentle as a lamb with friends, Lou could be ferocious with foes. When a neighbor is raped it is Lou who catches the creep. Last Dog On The Hill is a heartwarming tale of the life of an extraordinary dog. Along the way there were hikes to take, friends to make, and people to help. There is a bond between dog and man. We are touched by their grace, come hear Steve Duno celebrate the life of an extraordinary dog.
