Book Review - Bliss To You by Trixie Koontz

Bliss to You by Trixie Koontz, dog as told to Dean Koontz

“Bliss To You - Trixie’s Guide to a Happy Life” has to be one of the most heart-warming and funny books I’ve read all year. This is the third book written by author Dean Koontz, as “told” to him by his beloved Golden Retriever, Trixie.

Trixie passed away in 2007, but the words for “Bliss To You” were channeled to Koontz through his computer.  In the foreword of the book, Koontz claims that he’d shut off his computer at night and the next morning the screen would be filled with words of wisdom from Trixie.

From Dean Koontz’ moving foreword to Trixie’s final page, this book is sure to delight pet owners and dog lovers everywhere.  Trixie shares with her readers the eight steps to achieving bliss that she feels anyone can take. It’s a must-have self-help book.

Along with the eight steps to bliss are sections on dog wisdom and dog quotes. The book is an easy read, at 160 pages in length.

The author’s royalties from the sale of this book are donated to the Canine Companions for Independence, an organization that provides highly-trained assistance dogs for those who need them; a program to which Trixie once belonged.

Trixie Koontz’ other books are “Life is Good: Lessons in Joyful Giving”, and “Christmas is Good”.
