My wife, Julee, and I can’t imagine life without a dog to love and be loved by. The problem with loving dogs is that you outlive all but the last one.

Order Your Copy of Always By My Side by Edward Grinnan
So many of you knew the heartache we were going through, the price we pay for the joy our dogs selflessly give us.
I’ve written a book about Millie and all the dogs I’ve loved, the lessons they’ve taught me, the mysterious way just the right dogs have been put at
 my side at just the right moments in my life, like instruments of heaven.
I also weave in a few of my favorite, most inspiring dog stories from Guideposts and share what they meant to me personally. You can place an order here for Always by My Side, which will be out this February.
