“Author Andrew Muse shares his journey of adventuring around the U.S. with two of his dogs, first Booter and then Kicker. The love Muse has for his dogs is palpable and shown both in words and in the beautiful photographs he shares. Part of enjoying Life is Golden is in living vicariously through the author and his dogs as they explore spots all over this country that are both hard to reach and beyond words. It will definitely inspires some wanderlust in the reader, but also shows the amazing things dogs can do if given the chance. This book should appeal to anyone who loves dogs and outdoor adventures.”

– Jean Ladden, Librarian

“Someone judging this book by its cover might assume it’s a feel-good book about dogs, and how special goldens are, and how our companion animals are trea sured family members. It is all of these. But Muse also draws on events from his own life to share an important lesson: You can learn from even your most devastating mistakes. You can rebuild your life from scratch, even after tragedy almost convinces you that such a feat would be impossible – especially if you have a loving companion by your side every step of the way.”

– Lisa Truesdale, Utah Life

“A winner for all the guys in your life, no question.”
