Ed's story will take you on the adventure of a 180-pound black-and-white Newfoundland dog who was born on a farm in Ellsworth, Wisconsin. You'll follow Ed's journey from the farm to the suburbs of Minneapolis and all the crazy antics he becomes involved in along the way. You will come to know his family and some of his newfound friends, who are not always what they appear to be. He learns many things about living in a human world and finagles his way through some very sticky situations! He learns what a Christmas tree is for and what it is not for! He learns how to go up and down the stairs very quickly. He learns that peanut butter is the best kind of food! Ed is a little silly and a bit of a curmudgeon, but his family all love him almost as much as he loves them. I hope that you will follow Ed on his journey through this book and the books to follow. I hope that you will laugh and maybe learn a few things-not only about Newfoundland dogs but about yourself as well. Life is a journey, and I hope that you enjoy following Ed and his family on theirs! There will be some ups and downs and some surprises along the way-some you expect and some that you won't even see coming. I hope you come to see that Ed is truly one of a kind, which is the best kind to be!
