We are re-issuing our interview with book author Dean Koontz as it was the most popular episode of Dog Save The People during 2020. With the circumstances this past year of the pandemic, many found comfort and normalcy in the simple act of taking their dog for a walk every day. With Dean, observing his dog’s curiosity during walks, helped him to re-look at the world, he started being more observant of his immediate surroundings, more appreciative of everyday natural life outside We thought it would be fitting to share his episode again, as it's so representative of many dog owners around the world are feeling – now, more than ever. Dean Koontz is a number one bestselling author whose work spans six decades and has had both commercial and critical success. His books have sold more than 500 million copies to date. Koontz also has written about several dog characters in his work, including his new book DEVOTED. Dean has had three dogs of his own now – each of whom has had their own impact on him, but especially his first dog, Trixie. The dogs have come from Canine Companions for Independence, an organization that provides assistance dogs free of charge to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities – of which has become Dean’s favorite charity for giving his time and resources. Dogs have impacted Dean both on a personal and professional level, and you can really hear it in his voice. - SOCIAL MEDIA - Website - https://www.dogsavethepeople.com - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople/ - Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavetheppl - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople - FEATURED LINKS - Dean’s new book DEVOTED on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Devoted-Dean-Koontz/dp/1542019508 - Dean’s new book ELSEWHERE on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Elsewhere-Dean-Koontz/dp/1542019850 - Dean’s upcoming book THE OTHER EMILY on Amazon (March 2021) - https://www.amazon.com/Other-Emily-Dean-Koontz/dp/1542019958 - Dean Koontz website - https://www.deankoontz.com - Dean Koontz on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deankoontzofficial - Dean Koontz on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/deankoontzofficial - Dean Koontz on Twitter - https://twitter.com/deankoontz - Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) website - https://www.cci.org - Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ccicanine - Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/caninecompanions - Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ccicanine - A Big Little Life memoir on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Big-Little-Life-Memoir-Joyful-ebook/dp/B004VNZHDC - Trixie’s books - https://www.deankoontz.com/trixie-booklist/
