Synopsis: “A moving memoir of a loving relationship with a dog and the trials and tribulations of living on a western sheep farm.” —Temple Grandin, New York Times–bestselling authorPatti Sherlock's working relationship with her Border Collie, Duncan, got her through the ups and downs of sixteen years on a sheep farm in Idaho. During that time, Duncan was an unwavering companion through the destruction of Patti's marriage, her children inevitably leaving home one by one, and eventually, her decision to stop raising sheep. Patti's life on the farm is a reflection of beginnings and endings, and the cycle of seasons in all of our lives.“If you've forgotten how to see miracles in everyday moments, this book will remind you. It's a story about the real world, the world where human beings live in constant contact with nature, and where animals are more than best friends.” —W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, New York Times–bestselling authors“A Dog for All Seasons gives us the convergence of a remarkable woman, a wonderful dog, and a fascinating way of life. It's the literary equivalent of fresh air, pure water, and sparkling sunlight. The book should be savored.” —Tim Sandlin, author of Skipped Parts“Tender, wise, and deeply affecting, Sherlock's vignettes will make readers smile and sigh and wish for their own Duncan.” —Publishers Weekly
