Now, in Izzy & Lenore, Katz delves deeper into his connection with the beautiful, once-abandoned dog, learning yet again about the unexpected places animals can take us. Affectionate and intuitive, Izzy is unlike any dog Katz has encountered, and the two undertake a journey Katz could not have imagined without the arrival of a new companion: a spirited, bright-eyed black Labrador puppy named Lenore.<br><br>As trained hospice volunteers visiting homes and nursing facilities in upstate New York, Katz and Izzy bring comfort and canine companionship to people who most need it. An eighty-year-old Alzheimer&#8217;s patient smiles for the first time in months when she feels Izzy&#8217;s soft fur. A retired logger joyfully remembers his own beloved dog when he sees Izzy. As Izzy bonds with patients and Katz focuses on their families, the author begins to come to terms with his own life, discovering dark realities he has never confronted. Meanwhile, Lenore&#8211;quickly dubbed the Hound of Love&#8211;arrives at Bedlam. Her genial personality and boundless capacity for affection steer Katz out of the shadows, rekindle his love of working with dogs, and restore his connection to the farm and the animals and people around him.<br><br>Humorous and deeply moving, Izzy & Lenore is a story of a man confronting his past, embracing the blessings of his current life, and rediscovering the meaning of friendship, family, and faith. Katz shares an uplifting tale of love, compassion, and the rich and complex relationships between dogs and their humans. 3359531 23 9 2008 Izzy & Lenore: Two Dogs, an Unexpected Journey, and Me total:259|5:68|4:116|3:63|2:11|1:1| 259 1016 451 88 3321719 1400066301 9781400066308 249 85 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255735779m/3321719.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3321719.Izzy_Lenore_Two_Dogs_an_Unexpected_Journey_and_Me 5 2 false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 21:02:18 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 15:28:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3321719 1400066301 9781400066308 249 85 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255735779m/3321719.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3321719.Izzy_Lenore_Two_Dogs_an_Unexpected_Journey_and_Me 4 1 false Sun Jan 11 01:40:25 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 01:57:06 -0800 2009
