Author Alison Rand - Walking Alison

Big Daily Blend

Celebrate National Dog Month (August) with this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Pet Connection" Show that features Alison Rand, author of the contemporary memoir, "Walking Alison: A Poodles’s Mostly True Story of Helping Her Human Navigate Life."

The healing relationship between a dog and her human is at the heart of "Walking Alison." Chronicling their regular walks around her Upper West Side neighborhood, this big-hearted book describes the significant relationship between Alison and her wise, yet opinionated, canine companion known as Dea. Dea nudges her human to engage with the world and appreciate everyday magic, even in the face of hardship. From processing grief to recovering from illness, Dea sees it all—and with deep wisdom, gives insight that can only be gleaned from looking through the eyes of a beloved pet.

Alison's previous memoir, “A Place Called Grace,” follows her misadventures as she struggles to find her footing as an actress in New York and Rome, Italy. Keep up with her at https://alisonrandauthor.com/
