The Border Crossing Comedy

About the Book

Johnny Stone is one of the nicest guys you could meet. He is kind, generous, understanding and compassionate. Things would change though from the tragic death of his girlfriend in an automobile accident. Then he tried to put some meaning into is life after losing his job. He had a small truck camper that he drove into the forest of the United States from Canada. It was there in the forest of the State of Idaho that he was to meet his new companion, a puppy that he would call Lobo. Without a meaningful job he started his own moving company.

Lobo was not only his companion; he became his guard dog, guarding the household items, which Johnny transported from place to place. His life was back in order or so he thought. Lobo and Johnny were inseparable. They went everywhere together and Johnny watched his pet grow into a fine healthy mature dog. Then he got himself a cat that he named marble. Both animals got along fine until Marble fell eleven floors off his apartment window - and lived.

Then the day came when he went back to the border of the United States with his dog, Lobo, only to discover that things were not as easy as before. Confusion, disorder, fire, struggles, pain, sorrow, laughter, compassion and love were all on the menu for the day for Johnny Stone!
