![]() Koontz and his wife suffered a loss with the passing of their Golden Retriever of nine years Trixie. # 1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz is also a profound lover of dogs and one of his most endearing trademarks is the frequent use of canines in his books-“ Watchers”, “ The Taking”, “ Fear Nothing/Seize the Night” starring Christopher Snow, “ Dark Rivers of the Heart” and “ Midnight” immediately come to mind. Some memories are more precious than others-the super-smart German Shepherd we called Cha-Cha or the very beautiful, very loyal half-Siberian Husky/half-wolf Roosky-but I loved each and every one of them and as a young reader that love extended to literature-“ Where the Red Fern Grows”, Jack London’s “ White Fang” & “ Call of the Wild”, “ Old Yeller”, et cetera. I grew up on a farm and as far back as I can remember we always had a dog. ![]()
