Salty Dog Tales

About the Book

Randy was no ordinary dog. He survived four attempts on his life, all justified, sailed victoriously as crew in the Townie races, lost his first eye in a dog fight, and his second in a coordinated attack by a band of cats. But there was more to him than his scars. He thwarted a band of smugglers, saved the economy of Wiscasset, and was subsequently nominated for Governor of Maine at the Democratic Convention. From Nahant Island in Massachusetts, to Wiscasset, Maine, and Door County, Wisconsin, the indominatable spirit of this wire haired fox terrier left its mark.
