The purpose of the book is to share part of the life story of my very best friend, Riley-Dirk. Riley is our beloved mixed Miniature Australian Shepard. He was a stray that made his way from Fort Worth, Texas to our school and ultimately to our home. He is a brilliant little pup who is devoted to me and my wife. We are equally devoted to him and our other wonderful pets. He brings a special kind of love and joy to our home like nothing we have ever experienced. He is funny, sweet, clever, mischievous and as intelligent a pup as we have ever met. This is Riley’s book. Today, here with us in our home, his story continues with joy and happiness. He is all that is good!
