**From _New York Times_ bestselling author David Elliot Cohen comes this unforgettable dog story of a cross-country road trip. _The Wrong Dog_ is a heartwarming and hilarious memoir of a mischievous dog and the unconditional love he forges with the family who mistakenly adopts him.**

**There are no bad dogs.** Meet Simba II, a playful white Labrador puppy brought home by accident. As he grows into an enormous ninety-pound dog with a huge personality, Simba cements the bond between two families and enriches their lives in countless ways.

**A cross-country road trip to remember.** When the family moves from San Francisco to New York, the author is charged with the ultimate animal rescue-bringing Simba to the family's new home. He and his best friend, Erick, load Simba into the back of a station wagon and set out on a 3,300-mile once-in-a-lifetime road trip across America.

**An epic journey for dog lovers.** With stops at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace; the Las Vegas Strip; Meteor Crater; the Painted Desert; Cadillac Ranch; Winslow, Arizona; Gallup, New Mexico; Graceland, and other all-American landmarks, this engaging and poignant volume chronicles an epic journey, the unconditional love between one dog and his family, and the vast and benevolent role dogs play in American family life. But most of all, _The Wrong Dog_ shows us how the end of life can sometimes be the richest part of all.

**If you're a dog lover who's enjoyed books such as _Arthur: The Dog who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home_, _A Dog Called Hope_, or _No Ordinary Dog_, then you'll love and laugh along with _The Wrong Dog_.**
