The death of Moose, the family dog, inspired author Jack Cotton to compile for his children a series of lessons gleaned from their canine companion of many years. What does a dog know about living life? As this wise and warm new book explains, Moose understood quite a lot, from: Love Unconditionally (I'm not always in the best mood...but that never affected Moose); to Take a Nap in a Sunny Spot (every now and then find a nice, warm spot...and just snooze. There is no better way to reset the stress meter we all carry with us). The lessons Moose shares were written for children, but they will resonate with everyone who loves a dog or know someone who does. This is a Chihuahua size book inspired by St Bernard-size ideas and readers everywhere will be 'woofing' about it.
Jack Cotton has worked continually in the real estate company he started in his college dormitory room 35 years ago. He didn't need to work for another broker to learn the business because he knew so much at the age of 21. He knew so much in fact that it took him 1 year, 2 months and 3 weeks to sell his first house.
Things improved though, and over three decades, Cotton Real Estate became one of the most admired and professional real estate companies on Cape Cod. Agents at his former firm continue to post the highest per person production on the Cape.
In 2005, Jack sold his company to Sotheby's International Realty. He transitioned away from sales to growing, running and managing the firm's Cape Cod offices while working with selected clients. In the three years after the acquisition, he did three new office start-ups for Sotheby's International Realty.
Over the years, Jack has been involved nearly every record breaking luxury residential sale on Cape Cod, either directly as the agent or as coach to the agent involved.
In fall of 2008, he stepped down as manager and has returned to being an agent, riding bike with his kids and working on various writing projects.
"A Dog's Guide to Life" is in its second printing applies to both the personal and business side of life.
