“Travels with Casey is a charming, touching, human and humane book. The author’s self-deprecating humor, his keen eye for the truth of the people he encounters, his respect for those who live in what too many others might call ‘fly-over country,’ and his affection for dogs make this a unique book.”——Dean Koontz, author of The City: A Novel and A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog
