Roaming and Reading: A cross-country trip with a moody labrador
For this week's Roaming and Reading, we take a cross-country trip with writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis and his moody Labrador, Casey, in a rented RV.
The two traveled across 32 states and 13,000 miles in the country with the highest rate of dog ownership in the world.

This sprightly, entertaining travelogue should find a delighted readership.
