<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback, the co-founders of the Three Dog Bakery share the moving, funny, and inspirational story of a deaf and partially blind albino Great Dane named Gracie who helped inspire the owners as they built up their international retail chain to 32 stores and counting. Line drawings and photos throughout.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It was love at first sight. Amid the frenzied barking and prancing of a house full of Great Danes, one pup was shivering in the corner. Gracie. But when Dan Dye reached her, she struggled to her feet like a clumsy foal, raised her forehead to his, and announced, as clearly as if she had actually spoken the words, You know I'm the one. Now get me outta here! <p/> By turns funny, moving, tender, and inspiring, Gracie's tale is a treat for every dog lover. There is Gracie's first morning, racing around Dan in the snowy yard. Gracie's first determination to prove to her step-sisters, Dottie the Dalmation and Sarah the Black Lab, that she's one of the girls. Gracie's defiant romance with a pint-size charmer named Byron, a Boston Terrier from the wrong side of the fence. <p/> Then born of necessity, the eureka moment: When Gracie's delicate constitution starts turning into anorexia, Dan teaches himself how to cook, and in three days is baking her the cookies that will spur her appetite, launch Three Dog Bakery, and transform their lives forever. <p/> Courage. Compassion. Kindness. Soul. Tenacity. And joy, above all, joy. These qualities Gracie possessed in abundance, and shared with everyone, human or canine, who had the good fortune to cross her path.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>She was the loneliest puppy in the litter--a deaf and partially blind albino Great Dane. She had huge, sky blue eyes. And when Dan Dye reached for her, she struggled to her feet like a clumsy foal, raised her forehead to his, and announced, as clearly as if she had actually spoken the words, <i>You know I'm the one. Now get me outta here! </i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"It's funny how the smallest things can change a life. Gracie was that thing. If you're short on inspiration, read <i>Amazing Gracie</i>."<br> --<i>Chicago Tribune</i><br>
