By John Armstrong
Some human lives can be measured in dogs. Writer/musician John Armstrong is such a person, and in A Series of Dogs, he takes the measure of his own, using wry wit and vivid prose to evoke a life immeasurably enriched by one best friend after another. In this hilarious, perceptive and moving memoir, Armstrong tells boyhood tales of romping along the railroad tracks with Spooky the mutt, touching accounts of Sluggo the Rottweiler befriending sex workers, howl-inducing memories of laying a treasured friend to rest during a rain– and beer-soaked night, and many more stories both moving and hilarious. Armstrong is the author of two previous memoirs, Guilty of Everything, a BC Book Prize finalist, and Wages.
