She was big enough to have been Moby Dick’s daughter; her head was still dry in five fathoms of water; she made six foot wakes with a wag of her tail, and she slept on a bed made from spinnaker sails.
I loved this book as a child. I actually met the author shortly after the book came out. I have a signed copy. This books is awesome because from my house you can see the opening of the Chesapeake Bay, so it was nice to think there was a giant adorable dog swimming around out there.
