Steven Winn
Come Back, Como: Winning The Heart Of A Reluctant Dog
Based on a beloved ten-part series in the San Francisco Chronicle , Come Back, Como is Steven Winn's tender and hilarious memoir of his uncommonly rich experience with a dog who wanted nothing whatsoever to do with him. With humor and pathos, Winn describes the exasperating but ultimately rewarding effects the pet had on his family, the ordeals he and his dog endured together, and the greatest lesson Como taught him: that loving a dog can somehow make us more human.
