What is the secret to getting older happily? Listen to your dog, according to Dave Barry. The author approaches old age painfully aware that his dog is coping with the process better than he is. What could he learn from her?

Lessons from Lucy is a charming book that details his observations and journey as he tries to connect more with people (his dog still does it better). He notes his observations on dogs, people and life in all its glory in a witty and  insightful way. Every page is a joy to read.
