NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â?˘ In a profound, funny, and beautifully rendered portrait of a beloved companion, bestselling novelist Dean Koontz remembers the golden retriever who changed his life.

A retired service dog, Trixie was three when Dean and his wife, Gerda, welcomed her into their home. She was superbly trained, but her greatest gifts couldnâ??t be taught: her keen intelligence, her innate joy, and an uncanny knack for living in the moment. Whether chasing a tennis ball or protecting those she loved, Trixie gave all she had to everything she did, inspiring Dean and Gerda to trust their instincts and recapture a sense of wonder that will remain with them always. Trixie lived fewer than twelve years; in this wide world, she was a little thing. But in every way that mattered, she lived a big life… (meer)

What a sweet book and tribute to his Trixie. I have read his books since I was about 13 but know nothing about the mans person. Seeing a book about his dog, I couldn't resist. I loved how he loved this dog and how even before he had owned a dog, that the CCI was so important to him. Trixie does sound like she was an amazing dog but aren't they all. I reads this right after putting my Aussie/lab mix down. I actually think it helped me get through this. ( )

I loved this book because I have also had that close relationship with a dog who is more than a dog. Trixie came into the lives of Dean and Gerda Koontz finally and managed to make them better people. Dean writes about all the amazing things Trixie does. I wish I could have known her, she sounds like a truly amazing dog. ( )

I laughed, I cried and I recalled all the special moments with all my pups. ( )

An homage to his well loved golden retriever, Trixie, this short book describes the joyful life of the Koontz dog and the effects the dog had on his and his wife's life. Told in wonderful anecdotal stories, it's easy to see why Trixie was so well loved. A little philosophy, a little humor, a little faith, all show up in this lovingly written book. Even though I'm more of a cat person than dog lover, I couldn't put this book down. ( )

First and foremost, it's a wonderful story about an extraordinary dog. The insight it gives into Koontz's novels is simply a bonus.

Dogs live most of life

in Quiet Heart.

Humans live mostly next door

in Desperate Heart.

Now and then will do you good

to live in our zip code.

To Gerda, who shared the wonder

and the loss, who knows that the pain

was so great because the joy before

it was even greater, and who had the

courage to do it all again.

Bliss to you.
