Ralph & Murray - Paperback

by Rick Glaze (Author)

Growing up in a small southern town in the late 1950s, this autobiographical tale is told with punch and humor by my four-legged companion, Ralph. This low-to-the-ground, canine perspective of my story was somewhat news to me, but who can question the poignant truth of the matter from Ralph's own lips.In 1959 most dogs in America couldn't talk and it was rare that a feline neighbor could read minds, but Ralph and Murray are shinning exceptions to the rule. Growing up in a small southern town was idyllic and easy for one of a litter of five. Ralph and his feline neighbor, Murray, navigate ghosts, hobos, and the twist dance craze, along with Mister Twister himself, Chubby Checker.
Follow Ralph and Murray's adventures and see how to live happily in a diverse world. Experience empathy, kindness, and compassion and be empowered to stand up for others. Why do pencils have erasers, and who eats alligators for lunch? Ralph and Murray have the answers. Travel along with Ralph and his sidekick as they narrate the story of the author's fictional family. Join them in the carwash with Elvis blaring out "Hound Dog," spirit people in the attic, and a treacherous sailing trip around Cape Horn.
