Satin My Pet Chow Chow

By Donald Cooper

He saluted. He swam laps. He held the pool man at the gate until the man shook his paw. Meet Satin - the smartest dog in the U.S. Army, and one little boy's best friend.

When five-year-old Donald's dad - a paratrooper in the famous 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina - comes home, he brings a surprise: Satin, a magnificent Chow Chow with a lion's mane and a famous blue tongue. Satin was trained as a soldier's companion and a medic dog who carried supplies in a pack for wounded soldiers - and he was rescued from a mean master by a soldier who knew he deserved better.

Now Satin has a brand-new mission: being Donald's best friend.

Watch him commando-crawl across the whole backyard, sit up and SALUTE, shake hands like a gentleman, play dead (blue tongue and all ), and catch a stick in midair before it hits the ground Travel with Satin across America - from Fort Bragg to Fort Lewis, Washington, where he becomes a king in the snow, and on to sunny Fresno, California, where he learns to swim laps in the backyard pool, becomes the neighborhood's most serious lifeguard, holds the pool man hostage at the gate until the man agrees to shake his paw, digs a three-foot hole chasing a mole clean under the palm trees - and gets bossed around by a very small, very bossy duck named Sandy.

Based on the author's true childhood memories - and the perfect companion to his book "Two Weeks With Sandy " - Satin, My Pet Chow Chow is a warm, funny, heartfelt story about loyalty, family, an Army dad, and the once-in-a-lifetime dog every kid dreams of.
