Lessons From Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog

Lessons From Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog

In this â€œlittle gemâ€ (Washington Independent Review of Books), Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning columnist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry learns how to age happily from his old but joyful dog, Lucy.

As Dave Barry turns seventyâ€”not happilyâ€”he realizes that his dog, Lucy, is dealing with old age far better than he is. She has more friends, fewer worries, and way more fun. So Dave decides to figure out how Lucy manages to stay so happy, to see if he can make his own life happier by doing the things she does (except for drinking from the toilet). He reconnects with old friends and tries to make new onesâ€”which turns out to be a struggle, because Lucy likes people a lot more than he does. And he gets back in touch with two ridiculous but fun groups from his past: the Lawn Rangers, a group of guys who march in parades pushing lawnmowers and twirling brooms (alcohol is involved), and the Rock Bottom Remainders, the worldâ€™s oldest and least-talented all-author band. With each new lesson, Dave riffs hilariously on dogs, people, and life in general, while also pondering Deep Questions, such as when itâ€™s okay to lie. (Answer: when scallops are involved.)

Lessons from Lucy shows readers a new side to Dave Barry thatâ€™s â€œtouching and sentimental, but thereâ€™s still a laugh on every pageâ€ (Sacramento Bee). The master humorist has written a witty and affable guide to joyous living at any age.
