A Heartwarming Dog Story of Unconditional Love
"Part Marley and Me, part Bucket List, part travel memoir, Cohen's book
tells the story of Simba, a larger-than-life Labrador retriever whose
physical size is matched only by his love of people." ―Sara Hodon,

From New York Times bestselling author David Elliot Cohen comes this
unforgettable dog story of a cross-country road trip. The Wrong Dog is
a heartwarming and hilarious memoir of a mischievous dog and the
unconditional love he forges with the family who mistakenly adopts
him.
There are no bad dogs. Meet Simba II, a playful white Labrador puppy
brought home by accident. As he grows into an enormous ninety-pound dog
with a huge personality, Simba cements the bond between two families and
enriches their lives in countless ways.
A cross-country road trip to remember. When the family moves from
San Francisco to New York, the author is charged with the ultimate
animal rescue-bringing Simba to the family's new home. He and his best
friend, Erick, load Simba into the back of a station wagon and set out
on a 3,300-mile once-in-a-lifetime road trip across America.
An epic journey for dog lovers. With stops at Buck Owens' Crystal
Palace; the Las Vegas Strip; Meteor Crater; the Painted Desert; Cadillac
Ranch; Winslow, Arizona; Gallup, New Mexico; Graceland, and other
all-American landmarks, this engaging and poignant volume chronicles an
epic journey, the unconditional love between one dog and his family, and
the vast and benevolent role dogs play in American family life. But most
of all, The Wrong Dog shows us how the end of life can sometimes be
the richest part of all.
If you're a dog lover who's enjoyed books such as Arthur: The Dog who
Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home, A Dog Called Hope, or No Ordinary
Dog, then you'll love and laugh along with The Wrong Dog.
