Denali : a man, a dog, and the friendship of a lifetime
(Book)

"Denali is the story of the friendship between the author, Ben Moon, and his dog, Denali, as they traveled the American west, and of how Denali supported the author as he battled cancer, and how the author dealt with the cancer illness and death of his dog"--,Provided by publisher.

When Moon moved to Oregon, he hadn't planned on getting a dog, but felt a connection with a rescue pup in a shelter. Moon and Denali set out on the road together, across the American west and through some of the best years of their lives. When Moon was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 29, he faced a difficult battle, and Denali never once left his side until they were back out surfing and climbing crags. It was only a short time later that Denali was struck by the same disease. This is the story of the friendship that shaped their lives, showing the strength and love that we give and receive when we have our friends by our side. -- adapted from back cover
