When a jumbo wave of alcoholism forces Robby out of Chicago, he washes up in Minneapolis, where he finds love, life, death, and dogs. But what happened way back then in the Windy City -- and is it happening again? There's only one place to find the truth -- and only one creature who can tell him.

A humorous look at all that can be found when all seems lost, WHEN DAD CAME BACK AS MY DOG tells the somewhat fictional but mostly true tale of the Wackers of Chicago.
