About the Author Veteran pet behaviorist Steve Duno is the author of many books, including Last Dog on the Hill. He has trained thousands of dogs, and a good number of cats. He lives in Seattle with his family and an ever-changing assortment of rescued pets. The moving story of the authors adopted Rottweiler mix, Lou, a free-thinking heroic dog who changed his life forever Born of guard dogs on a secret marijuana farm in Mendicino County, Lou truly was one dog in a million. On the winter day that the ailing, tick-infested feral pup was rescued by Steve Duno, neither dog nor man had a clue as to what they were getting into, or where the relationship would lead. Last Dog on the Hill tells the story of an indigent young Rottweiler mix who, after abandoning his pack and the hills of his birth, went on to change the lives of hundreds of people and dogs, including the authors, whose career as a behaviorist and writer was made possible through Lous extraordinary intelligence and heart. Lou won the respect of gang members, foiled an armed robbery, caught a rapist, fought coyotes and kidnappers, comforted elderly war veterans and Alzheimer patients in their final days, taught ASL to kids, learned scores of unique behaviors and tricks, amassed a vocabulary of nearly 200 words, helped rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs and saved them from euthanasia. He was also a clown, consummate performer and Steves best friend for sixteen years. His story will make readers laugh and cry in equal measures. Review “Lous story is an emotional and deeply felt tribute to the powerful bond between dogs and humans. Last Dog on the Hill will make you long for that one special super-dog that can truly change your life. We should all be so lucky to have a dog like Lou in our world.” Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain“Last Dog on the Hill is a wonderful mixture of humor, heartbreak, and high jinks. I couldnt put it down. Lou will steal your heart.” Janet Evanovich, New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series“When making your pile of best dog stories ever, make space for another one. This book is great! Lou is a real working dog, not just a pile of emotive fluff. His exploits and accomplishments are nothing short of heroic. You will cheer for this dog and the fullness of his life. The relationship between Steve Duno and Lou is remarkable. We all want to know a dog like Lou. Heres your chance. There is a tear or two, but they are tears of joy for lives well-shared.” Greg Kincaid, author of A Dog Named Christmas“Theres nothing whispery or mysterious about the connection between Steve Duno and his remarkable Rottweiler mix Lou. Its a full-voiced love story, a vigorous tale of rescue and mutual redemption, and an eloquent human-canine conversation that grows richer and deeper through the years. Last Dog on the Hill reminds us not only how much dogs can learn, but more importantly, how much they can teach us about the things that really matter -- loyalty, honor, hard work, and plenty of sheer delight.” Steven Winn, Author of Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Do“Everyone needs to experience a dog like Lou; and every dog needs a person like Steve Duno. Last Dog on the Hill is one of those rare animal memoirs that isnt sentimental, yet moves the reader to tears as easily as laughter. It also makes me wonder how many vocabulary words my dog knows.” Susan Wilson, author of One Good Dog“If Jack Reacher had a dog, hed be Lou. If Jack Reacher were a dog, hed be Lou.” Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series“There are so many accounts and testaments that verify beyond doubt that a dog is mans best friend. What makes this story special is that Lou, in terms of fate, was destined for a rough and unspectacular life. Lou and Steve found each other by sheer chance. Lous life was richer for being Steves dog, but the real twist
