A Dog Who Follows Gladly

By Phil Van Trueren

The wisdom of an older ranch dog is shared with a younger headstrong pup as he is introduced to life with a kind hearted rancher on a picturesque working cattle ranch. This collection of thoughtful vignettes prompts the reader to choose to recognise the beauty in every situation, from the mundane to the unique. Elegant illustrations correspond with each of the young dog’s experiences and reinforce the opportunity to seek goodness in all we encounter throughout the journey of life.


A wonderful addition to the library of those who treasure elegance in thought and aesthetics, this adaptation of an ancient stoic parable is written and illustrated by Phil Van Trueren and available at Stoic Simple Press.
