Life's Too Short to Be an Underdog...: ...and Other Spiritual Life Lessons I Learned from My Dog

Life's too Short to Be an Underdog is the story of a boy and his dog and another dog and yet another one well, several more after that. Author Dave Smith boldly reveals the sometimes confusing, occasionally tragic, but always amusing history of the "Smith Family Dog Curse". For so many years the family was denied in their attempts to cultivate a lasting bond with any dogs because of a series of mysterious events. In the midst of the family's pain and heartache, one dog managed to beat the curse and became the inspiration of many spiritual insights for his beloved master. Dave opens up the family history book and invites you to laugh along, secretly hoping it doesn't cost him the vast family inheritance. Life's too Short to Be an Underdog is a book to share with friends, family, pet lovers, the criminally insane, and anyone else who knows how to read. It will bring smiles to faces of those who remember their own favorite doggie memories and challenge them to look for God's leading in the little things of life even in the sometimes bizarre antics of a little dog named Ballpark.
