When a seventy-something astrologer, well-known for his razor-sharp intuition and celestial insights, decides to get his first dog, he is in for the surprise of his life. You see, this fox terrier turns out to be a healer and a mind reader. And the dog talks to his owner. Join the journey of Mr. Darby and his owner, whom he calls a lot of descriptive names, as they both make major adjustments to each other. Just when you think you've heard everything, this three-year-old terrier will have you laughing at yourself, crying in some parts, and you might even get rip roaring mad with his political bias. You'll meet Scott and his dog Riggs who becomes Mr. Darby's best friend. Mr. Darby and his owner have become co-healers in his practice as a therapist. He counsels thousands of men, women and children as an intuitive, using Carl Jung and astrology to wring the truth out of them, and to tell them what the world looks like through his lens.

About the Author
Mr. Darby was born three years ago in Bloomfield, Iowa, one in a litter of seven. He came to live with his owner when he was five months old. A naturally mellow Libra with a curious Sagittarius moon, this wire fox terrier is a healer and an intuitive who works in his owner's practice. He lives in Sedona, Arizona—known as the Mecca of the Southwest—but he is available to pack his water and food bowls, bedding and treats to follow any rich bitch who comes along—but only to the Italian Riviera.

I was blown away by this book. Mr Darby- the dog who wrote this book
as there is no mention of another author-has so much personality
and heart that it is frightening, heartbreaking and laugh out loud funny
all at the same time. You will not be disappointed.

This is a must read. Mr. Darby's "Daddy" is a psychic and a world class astrologer. He has a LOT of opinions. Naturally, a lot of these talents have been passed down. Never has there been such an amazing dog. You will be surprised and delighted on every page. fom Mandy's Mom

Just when I thought I had read everything along comes a dog to open up
the funniest and zaniest Pandora's box of witticisms and bald-faced truths
about us humans. His keeper gets it in the neck as much as Charlie Sheen,
Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and anybody who is Christian or a Republican.
I recommend this to anyone with an open-mind and who wants to see life through
the sensibility of a dog.

Great fun read!
Having met Mr. Darby on several occasions, I can tell you he is one well-groomed, well-mannered, well-bred dog. But he holds nothing back and that earns props from me. Read more

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Darby!
This book is charming, cheeky, witty, opinionated and irreverent. A truly delightful read for anyone who has a dog in their life, but not recommended if you get easily offended!
