Discover a dog love story.
"Funny and poignant. A laugh on every page. The perfect gift for dog lovers like me."
- Brian Whitney, author of "Bad Trips" and "How Now, Butterfly?"
In the summer of 2024, Lucy the Dog grew very ill.
Over the course of one week, she became uninterested in food, uninterested in playing, and then completely lethargic. Veterinarians told her owners that Lucy was anemic and on the verge of death. She needed an immediate blood transfusion.
Later that day, they discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her digestive tract. This came as a shock because Lucy was roughly 5 years old. She underwent emergency surgery to save her life.

Later that day, they discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her digestive tract. This came as a shock because Lucy was roughly 5 years old. She underwent emergency surgery to save her life.
The operation was a success, but the cancer was aggressive, and life-threatening. The doctors determined she had only a few months to live.
“That was the hardest part,” said Holly Macario, Lucy’s guardian. “There were these moments when she nearly died. Then she survived radical surgery. Then the doctors told us maybe she would get only another month, or if she was lucky, maybe three.”

“That was the hardest part,” said Holly Macario, Lucy’s guardian. “There were these moments when she nearly died. Then she survived radical surgery. Then the doctors told us maybe she would get only another month, or if she was lucky, maybe three.”
In the time she had left, Lucy began to pose for many, many photographs. She also expressed interest in "writing her memoirs." Over time, her writings took shape as 30 letters to her owners.
In one sense, these are love letters. In another sense, these are lists of demands, unsubtle complaints about her dietary options, and over-the-top boasts about her positive personality traits and abilities. Now, these letters are available for everyone to read.
"Lucy's story is both heartwarming and inspiring," says Brian Dunleavy, author of "The Covid Home Companion" and "Crunch Time."
"This is sure to resonate with dog lovers everywhere. It is often funny, always touching, and ultimately heartbreaking."
