ABOUT THE BOOK

Best Friends

Welcome to East Maple, a special town where old dogs retire—and where every day brings simple pleasures, good food, and plenty of friendship.

Meet Gus, a lovable Coonhound, and McGuire, his faithful mutt companion. From toast with honey and oatmeal with bacon to helping with the mail, answering phones, practicing yoga, and enjoying candlelit dinners, these two best friends know how to make the most of every moment. Rain or shine, their days are filled with laughter, relaxation, and a little adventure.
Told in playful rhyme and brimming with canine charm, Gus and McGuire’s delightful story celebrates friendship, companionship, and the joy found in life’s everyday routines.

Come spend a day in East Maple, where retirement has gone to the dogs—and best friends really are forever.
