Book Description

Gas Station Charlie - A True Story about a Real Dog.

Imagine filling up your tank at the local gas station when, Surprise! A beautiful, friendly dog comes to collect your money. Cash? Credit? Charlie took care of it all, with a wagging tail and eager smile that brightened everyone's day. The entrepeneurial golden retriever lived in Saline, Michigan and helped Rick and Harry Parsons at the Marathon station on Michigan Avenue until he died in 1999. Charlie's son, Benjamin, is now following in his father's paw prints.


Editorial Reviews

Review

A Must-Have For Kid and Adult Golden Lovers!! This is a darling book for Golden Retriever lovers of all generations. -- Rochelle Lesser (rochelle@landofpuregold.com) A School Psychologist from Maryland 8/1/00

A charming little book has been published in memory of Golden Retriever Charlie, who "worked" at the Marathon Station... -- Shelter Life - Humane Society of Huron Valley

Here's another heart warming local book inspired by a dog. As a reporter, I was fortunate to meet Charlie relatively early in his career, and to write about his job and fans for the Ann Arbor News.

How exciting now to see a colorful book about Charlie! Told in Charlie's voice ... the book offers beautiful photos... -- Anne Valentine Martino - Ann Arbor News 12-13-99

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book for all animal lovers!, January 5, 2001
This review is from: Gas Station Charlie (Paperback)
This is a lovely book, very well put together. It is a touching story of a Golden Retriever who "works" at a gas station. All animal lovers will enjoy the adventures of this courageous, loving and willing Golden, who gave so much and asked for so little in return.
