This 📖will touch your ❤️!! Derick Wilder 🐕 🍑🐜 Catia Chien have given us a beautiful story about an old dog preparing for his final farewell. Told through dog-speak, we see the bond of love between forever friends, even when we say goodbye. Go get this book!

So cool when friends begin spotting our new book in the wild, Catia Chien! Thanks, Kathy Halsey, for sending this photo of The Longest Letsgoboy in Gramercy Books Bexley in Columbus, OH. And it looks like our gooddog (oh yes he is) might be keeping The Pigeon and his friends company. 🐕
