Returning with the highly anticipated follow-up to her original memoir, The Sun Orbits My Dog, former journalist J. B. Fitzgerald plunges fellow dog lovers back into the exciting exploits and harrowing hardships of a dedicated pup-parenting life. Continuing Georgiana's story and introducing a German shepherd-beagle named Maisie, these anecdotes explore the wonders and humor of everyday dogdom while also delving more intimately into grief, healing, and the effects of a loyal canine companion on both.

Still struggling to cope with one tragedy, only to find herself beset by a series of others, Fitzgerald's recovery began, simply enough, with words. They were not her own words, committed to paper and publication, nor were they the sage observations of a traditional therapist. These musings came instead from the amazing, talking mutt who would repeatedly turn the phrase rescue dog on its irresistibly floppy ear.

By reader request, this second illustrated volume boasts hundreds of new photographs. For those who give their hearts utterly to their furry friends, Moonlight of the Talking Dog is a veritable feast for the eyes and a salve for the soul.

Praise for J.B. Fitzgerald's The Sun Orbits My Dog:

"Hilarious, playful, and outright adorable...The book has an instantly uplifting effect that keeps you floating every time you remember it...J.B. Fitzgerald uses her artistic prowess to deliver beautiful, poetic writing that befits such angelic, joyful creatures as dogs. This is indeed a fantastic and wholesome read that every dog lover would not only enjoy themselves but also recommended to other dog lovers." - Foluso Falaye, Five-Star Review for Readers' Favorite

"...There is an almost poetic level of discussion within these pages on dogs, what they mean to us, and what we mean to them that beautifully articulates a bond that a lot of people don't understand. Author J.B. Fitzgerald's warmth and affection for these companions can be felt in every sentence of this book...If ever there was a literary advocate for adopting a dog from your local shelter it is The Sun Orbits My Dog..." - K.C.
