The World According to Murphy

About the Book

Murphy Rooster Darlin Dog is a Welsh Corgi with attitude. She reveals her story from her point of view and she discloses everything about the family who raised her from her puppy days through her senior citizen span of years. She reveals her day-to-day adventures and her share of misadventures, but through it all, she loves her life and those who live with her, even if one of them happens to be an overweight cat whose eating habits prevented Murphy from following in that same cat's footsteps.

Born in York, Maine, she crossed the Piscataqua River to New Hampshire. Starting out in a house in Durham and moving east to a condo by the water in Portsmouth three years later. Next, she moved to suburban Washington in Chevy Chase, Maryland, to a house with a fenced-in backyard, then on to an apartment in Washington, DC, back to Chevy Chase, to the same house, and back again to Washington, this time in Georgetown. Road trips, the longer the better, are only one of her highlights in life. Murphy keeps nothing back in this no-holds-barred, tell-all memoir.

From two trips to a dog jail without tags or collar, to the discovery of a heart murmur at ten years old, Murphy has something to amuse every family member, from puppy through old age, make that from children to senior citizens.
