Throughout his full life as an outdoorsman, hunter, and family man, Rob Phillips has nearly always had a dog (or two) by his side. From a harrowing rescue in hypothermic water to a hilariously odiferous motel stay to countless triumphant bird hunts, Rob's dogs have been loyal and loving partners through it all.

In this collection of stories and essays, Phillips applies his talents as a bestselling mystery novelist to decades of personal canine tales. With his signature wit, wisdom, and candor, he introduces us to each of the dogs-from Zeb to Bailey-that have followed him on pheasant hunts, sat patiently beside him in duck blinds, and made his home that much richer.

Hunters and general dog lovers alike will relish this chronicling of what has been for Rob Phillips-A Dog Life Well Lived.
