In this poignant, funny, and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the worlds most beloved storytellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells of his familys adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs-a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible of animals family.Theres a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us . . . Its love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things.What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs-Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?The answer can only be chaos: There are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed.There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love-and the joy and recognition of family.Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty-but also the visceral truth of the natural world-straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.
