Download Rex and the City: A Memoir of a Woman, a Man and the Rescue Dog Who Rescued Their Relationship AudioBook Free
In this wealthy, humorous, and insightful memoir, critically acclaimed author Lee Harrington stocks her report of love, reduction, dysfunctional associations, and the shelter dog who put things right. In 1997 New York City hipsters Lee and Ed were at a crossroads. Money was tight, their professions were floundering, their apartment was little, and their relationship, frankly, was dysfunctional. Then, on the fateful day in August, they decided on impulse to go to a nearby animal shelter, just to take a look at dogs. In a very split-second decision that could change their lives, they helped bring home Wallace. They quickly became aware that spaniel combination was more than they could cope with - he was competitive, fearful of humans, and apparently untrainable. Confronted with overwhelming new duties, the few bickered constantly, worried incessantly, and disagreed on almost every aspect of the way to handle the dog. However the one thing they could acknowledge was that they treasured Wallace. And slowly but surely, this love helped transform both the dog and their relationship. And thus, by rescuing an abused spaniel, they finished up rescuing themselves. Funny and heartfelt, this memoir chronicles a couple's changing view on their relationship, on the city, and on life through Wallace: a rambunctious, dynamic, and complicated shelter dog who was changed by love. And by life in New York City. Rex and the City will resonate with everyone who have ever treasured their four-legged good friend.
