For several years, author Gary Williams has walked his female yellow Labrador retriever, Guen, through the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, and posted their amusing–sometimes educational, mostly whimsical–conversations on social media. (Yes, dogs can talk. Just ask any dog owner.) For the first time, these daily exchanges between man and man’s best friend have been captured in a book featuring the best of the Walking Guen posts. Follow along as Gary and Guen discuss such deep philosophical and socially relevant topics as the Village People, bubble wrap, Oz, ice cream, firemen, organ concerts, and the Death Star. Each conversation is accompanied by Gary’s original grainy flip-phone camera photo of Guen as they weave their way through the streets.

So, sit back, relax, and follow along on these daily light-hearted discussions where beast often gets the better of man.
