Dog House, A Love Story, is an inadvertent memoir. I actually meant to write about my dogs and my family kept butting in.So the book is about fur and furnishings and about love: the very-mixed-blessing love I had for my son and my husband, the love we all had for our dogs (though maybe not all the dogs all the time) and the insane kind of love it takes to make a haunted house a home.Throw in a lot of antiques, a couple of triumphs over adversity and more than seems fair of heart-breaking loss, and you have Dog House, a tale of dogs and marriage and life unleashed.You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be glad you don't own a dog. You'll be really glad you do.Carol Prisant is the author of Good, Better, Best, the New York Times bestseller Antiques Roadshow Primer, and Antiques Roadshow Collectibles.
