| 1. | I have a son, Jack. |
|
| 2. | Jack has an Alaskan Malamute which he named McKinley. | |
| 3. | Our family has spent lots of time in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. | |
| 4. | In Steamboat there sometimes seems to be more dogs—wandering free—than there are people. | |
| 5. | There is a book, The Secret Life of Dogs, which suggests that dogs, left to their own devices, have a life completely independent of the people they live with. | |
| That’s almost all you need to know about how and why The Good Dog came to be written. Except: Jack has gone off to college. McKinley decided to stay home, and is still the sweet dog he’s always been. | ||
| P.S. McKinley can’t really open doors. | ||
