Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A golden retriever narrates a hilarious, heart-tugging tale of a dog and his humans as he tries to keep his family together while everything around them falls apart.
Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he's known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow. Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead. When Max gets a crazy idea to teach them both a dance routine for a contest, how can Cosmo refuse, stiff hips or no? Max wants to remind his folks of all the great times they've had together dancing -- and make them forget about the "d" word that's making them all cry. Told in the open, optimistic, unintentionally humorous voice of a golden retriever, I, Cosmo will grab readers from the first page -- and remind them that love and loyalty transcend whatever life throws your way.
First published by Nosy Crow (U.K.) 2019.
"What is an arthritic thirteen-year-old golden retriever to do when the human he loves most asks him to compete in a dance contest? Say yes, of course. Cosmo has been a devoted older brother to his human, Max, for a lifetime of trick-or-treating, movie watching, and family dance nights. And now Max is convinced that dance is the key to keeping his arguing parents--and his whole family--together. Max thinks that if he and Cosmo can win a canine freestyle competition (prize: a role in a movie!), Mom and Dad will remember all the good times they've had together and see that Max and Cosmo should never be separated. With help from veteran dog trainer Uncle Reggie, anxious Max and creaky Cosmo find a routine that is its own kind of unforgettable and discover that love can improvise its way around even the trickiest obstacles. Full of humor and heart, and told entirely from Cosmo's point of view, this is a rewarding exploration of human--and not-so-human--ideas of family, loyalty, and the most dogged kind of love."-- Publisher's description.
