Adventures with Durango Pete: Life and Poetry with a Cow Dog Philosofur

About this ebook
Stephen and his wife, Cynthia, went to a puppy adoption event near their Colorado home to look at a terrier. Instead, the tiny squeaks begging for attention came from an 8-week-old cattle dog crying, "Pick me up!" Stephen did. The puppy licked him up the nose, across his cheeks, and in his ears. The deal was sealed. Durango Pete had a new dad and Stephen was in for a wild ride.
Durango Pete and Stephen were soon locked into a battle of wills. The struggle for power and control is a quintessential human fight. It turned out to be the same for a man and his new dog. After months of frustration - desperation even - a simple game of tug-of-war was the turning point.
Adventures with Durango Pete is the story of how two stubborn souls found each other and discovered what a dog can teach an old man, and he a dog. Join them on the dusty trails and mountain peaks, and find the joy that blossoms from a true partnership of souls.
Stephen Hinman
Stephen Hinman came into the world a hopeful wanderer, a ponderer of life, and a storyteller. Along the way, he found a kindred spirit in his adopted cattle dog buddy, Durango Pete, who has the gift of gab, ancient wisdom, and joie de vivre.
