Find it on Amazon HERE

I’ve led a dog's life, and I want to tell you about it. Though people think I can only express myself with "Woof, Woof," I have a lot more to say. Born with good breeding in wintry Wisconsin, my first name was Baron Maximilian von Ox IV. Of course, that was far too fancy a handle for a cute pup like me. After being caged and buried in the guts of a giant plane, I made the acquaintance of my parents in Florida. Since I arrived on Valentine's Day, Mom wanted to name me Valentino. Dad didn't accept calling me such a sissy name. I became Chico. This is the tale of my adventurous life during the next twelve years. Sadly, I didn't live to be quite an octogenarian. I wished people would learn to appreciate my codes of communication. C’est la vie. But, this is my story, and I’m sticking to it!

About the Author

Harald Lutz Bruckner was born in Germany during turbulent times and ventured to the New World where he spent most of his adult life. His work and educational adventures have taken him from merchandising/retailing, the teaching of German and world literature, to an academic career in audiology and the challenges of working with hard-of-hearing and deaf children and adults. Among his favorite academic subjects to teach were offerings in sign language. In 1981, he discovered the magic of painting in transparent watercolors and has never stopped painting. Moving to sunny Arizona from the high country of Colorado in 2003 caused a major shift in his subject matter. He changed from a primarily realistic orientation to one of total abstraction. Since retiring from academia, he has pursued his passions for travel, art, music, and the enjoyment of writing. Chico Bello: A Wagging Tale is his fourteenth novel.
