In this Under the Covers episode, we meet Jim Mitchem and Laurie Smithwick, the creators of the book, “Gone Dogs: Tales of Dogs We’ve Loved.”   “Gone Dogs” isn’t one story, by one author, about one dog. It’s a collection of 50 stories by 50 authors from around the world sharing stories about the dogs of their lifetimes. The project was born from a blog post Jim Mitchem wrote about his dog passing. It was a simple tribute that generated a strong response and made him realize that all dog owners have something important in common — eventually, we must all say goodbye.   Jim, a writer, and Laurie, a graphic designer, put out a call for entries, received hundreds of submissions from all over the world, chose 50 of the most poignant and uplifting pieces, then edited and published this anthology.
