About the Book

A story of hope, love and purpose for anyone who has ever loved a rescue dog. With wry wit, deep insight, and vivid anecdotes, Tim McHugh gives voice to the family pet and delves into the place where the canine and human hearts become one. Ivan, a mixed-breed dog-philosopher with an extreme underbite and various other deformities, chronicles his life story with keen observations about his adopted family and the people he loves, covering the life events that touch us all. Throughout his life Ivan keeps plugging forward with optimism and faith, always striving to learn from his mistakes, believing that even as he is ultimately facing old age, disease, and death, life is all the more wonderful. To Ivan, love and relationships with people are what matters most, and that if a deformed pound dog like him can find love and acceptance, anyone can. His is a lively, humorous story of hope and perseverance.

Review :
“Move over, Marley, there’s a new dog in town! Be prepared to take a breathtaking, emotional joyride . . . two paws up!” —Charlie Cantrell and Dr. Rachel Wagner, authors of A Friend for Einstein, the Smallest Stallion “Ivan is not your average dog. He tells his life story—from pound dog to beloved family companion—in this unique twist on the dog memoir. An admirer of Tolstoy, Descartes, and Thoreau, Ivan finds himself contemplating life’s biggest questions: Who am I? What is my purpose? And, Why am I always hungry? I loved it!” —C. A. Wulff, author of Born Without a Tail and Circling the Waggins “Gandhi, MLK, Tolstoy . . . Ivan. All champions of the underdog. Hilarious!” —Dana Lyons, author of Cows with Guns and The Tree ""Literate, poignant, and hilarious. Ivan is a canine Huckleberry Finn, wise in his naiveté."" —Gary McKinney, author of Slipknot and Darkness Bids the Dead Goodbye “We can all use a fresh perspective . . . from a dog’s eye. If you’ve ever wondered about the life lived in a state of grace, here’s your answer.” —Mitch Friedman, coauthor of Forever Wild ""A great book."" —American Dog Magazine   ""[Ivan!] celebrates the life of a truly unique dog."" —New Day Northwest   ""I absolutely love this book. So inspiring!"" —Jennifer, Nashville Humane Society
