Dogged Pursuit
My Year of Competing Dusty, the World's Least Likely AGILITY DOG
by Robert Rodi
If you love dogs; if you have a bond with your little dog; if you walk with your dog; if you play with your dog; if you run or bike or even talk to your dog, you will love Dogged Pursuit!
The premise: Rob adopted Dusty from a rescue organization with the idea of competing in Agility for a year and writing a book. Well, obviously, he did that, but Dusty's not the typical Agility dog. Dusty's terribly shy - he won't even train for treats! He's not the fastest, either. Dusty even had problems lying down in front of people. (I'm not making this up! Hope and Fran - with Dax and Ceilidh, of course - have trained with Rob and Dusty.) Dogged Pursuit is ultimately the story of a man's bond with his dog. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll empathize. You'll cringe. You'll cheer!
Rob and Dusty are unlikely competitors, but they're a lovable duo. Rob brings the odd world of Dog Agility and the warm sense of his training community to life in a hilarious, heartwarming memoir.
