Becoming Waldo
How Being My Dog Would Make Me a Better Human
by Jennifer A. Carle
"After Jennifer A. Carle's beloved dog Winn had to be put down, she was surprised to find that a part of her wanted a new dog. But this new dog would need to be the anti-Winn. This dog needed a different personality, one easier to work with than Winn.
So Jennifer found Waldo, a lovable mutt, at the Maryland SPCA.
Waldo stole Jennifer's heart while she was on her way to adopt a different dog. This German Shepherd/Border Collie mix's personality was opposite of Jennifer's: relaxed and laid-back. Or so it seemed. Soon after the two form a bond, Jennifer finds that Waldo isn't acting as calm as he used to. Now, like her, he's become a bit neurotic. He bolts out the door and down the street. He nips at the heels of her sons. He barks at anything and everything while chasing it. When Jennifer calls Super Trainer Girl to the rescue, she learns caring for Waldo is much more complex than she imagined, but her efforts are well worth the challenge. Jennifer also realizes that Waldo has some lessons for her.
Dog lovers everywhere will relate to this collection of humorous and poignant tales that prove Becoming Waldo may make the world a better place."
