Lisa is joined by Rob Kugler the author of A Dog Named Beautiful: A Marine, a Dog, and a Long Road Trip Home.Rob starts off talking about the soul-crushing diagnosis that his wonderful dog Bella gets and how he decides to take the time Bella has and fill it full of travel and adventures as he travels with Bella throughout the US.  He also talks about family issues, the military, the gift of dogs, and so much more.  BOOK DESCRIPTION:An uplifting and unforgettable story of a US Marine, his extraordinary dog, and the road trip of a lifetime. When US Marine Rob Kugler returns from war not only had he given up a year of his life in service to his country, but he had also lost a brother in the fighting as well. Lost in grief, Rob finds solace and relief in the one thing that never fails to put a smile on his face: his chocolate lab, Bella. Exceptionally friendly, and always with - you wouldn’t believe it - a smile on her face, Bella is the friend Rob needs, and they spend their days exploring nature and taking photos. But then Bella develops a limp in her front leg. It’s cancer, and the prognosis isn’t good. Rob has a choice: either to let Bella go now, or amputate her cancer-riddled leg, and see what the next few months would bring. For Rob, the choice is a no-brainer, and instead of waiting at home for the cancer to spread, Rob and Bella pack their bags and hit the road. Life is short, but the road ahead is long and winding, and as they criss-cross the country Rob and Bella meet remarkable, life-changing men and women who are quick to make friends with this incredible three-legged dog.CHECK OUT ROB LINKS &amp; HIS RECOMMENDATIONS 1.

DOG-EARED with Lisa Davis EP #9: BOOK: A Dog Named Beautiful: A Marine, a Dog, and a Long Road Trip Home AUTHOR: Rob Kugler

Tonight's episode is a bit different than our usual retriever training and hunting stories and I know you're going to enjoy the conversation as much as we did. It finally happened. After what seemed like forever, we finally got the chance to record an episode with our buddy, Rob Kugler. Rob is an extremely special guy with a unique story to tell about his life, his family, his service and his dog. If I had to describe Rob, I'd begin with his character and reference his passion, determination, resiliency and selflessness. He is a fantastic storyteller and the next two hours will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing and pretending not to cry. Rob truly embodies "the unspoken bond" and it's one of the many reasons we appreciate him. Cheers to you, Rob.If you're interested in hearing more of Rob's story or just want to support him because man, it's the right thing to do.... then check out his book here.Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast Crew Learn more about your ad choices.
