    About this ebook

    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.

      Whether you are a pet lover or not, this story of the adjustment between a owner of an adopted dog from a shelter is at times funny, while tense at others, and then touching. It poignantly illustrates that all creatures want is love and acceptance, especially those of the human variety.
