Bishop took one look at Michael, walked over, placed his teddy chew toy on Michael’s lap, sat down, and barely left Michael’s side, until the day Michael died. Bishop was our miracle dog. Our gift from a loving Higher Power. He was dedicated to Michael. And so, after Bishop’s passing this spring, at the grand age of fourteen, it seemed only right to return the favor, and dedicate A Better Man to a wonderful dog. Indeed, to all our dogs. To all the cats, horses, birds, gerbils, fish, and animals who make our lives so much better. Who give up their freedom, for us.
