Leland lives in an off-grid home he built in the middle of a beautiful nowhere known as Colorado's San Luis Valley.

Against the backdrop of the American Pacific coast, one man pursues a dream of what might have been, while another man runs away. Somewhere along the way, they lose their expectations and fears, learning instead to value what is. Their unlikely teacher is a Border Collie with a mission of her own. Add a few little miracles, and you've got the recipe for a perfect unrequited love story, finally put right in a most unexpected way. From the authors of Angelo's Journey and Seven Dogs in Heaven, a reminder that sometimes, the only way to figure out what really matters is to leave everything behind. The paperback edition also includes a bonus of 15 short stories, previously only available in ebook format. Jimmy Mender's Miracle Dog is the most ambitious project yet from this human and canine team. A story that takes the reader from San Francisco to Alaska with a gay advice columnist following a cowboy. Phannie, a wandering Border Collie, finds a way to make it all make sense. A story that will appeal to dog lovers, romantics, and adventurists.
