viii, 341 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition.

Pt. 1: In which Casey hates the RV ; In which dog-loving humans (okay, New Yorkers) behave badly ; In which Casey and I encounter cats, cows, PETA, and the "dog-poop lady" ; In which I drive down Hillbilly Circle, up Wit's End Way, and past Hell for Certain Road ; In which Florida isn't nearly as awful as I expected it to be -- Pt. 2: In which I cry over dogs in West Texas, hire a bed bug exterminator in New Mexico, and meet gay cowboys in Colorado ; In which Casey gets a little sister ; In which I hang out with Cesar Millan, homeless teenagers, and my former middle school English teacher turned dog masseur ; In which we hightail it home, with some heartbreak along the way.

Over four months, 32 states, and 13,000 miles in a rented motor home, Denizet-Lewis and his canine companion attempt to pay tribute to the most powerful interspecies bond there is, in the country with the highest rate of dog ownership in the world. On the way, Denizet-Lewis--known for his deeply reported dispatches from far corners of American life--meets an irresistible cast of dogs and dog-obsessed humans.
