Travels With Casey – Book Giveaway

Long-time readers might remember that we spent a couple of days with Benoit Denizet-Lewis, a New York Times Magazine writer, his dog Casey, and Sam Reid, his research assistant. You can re-visit our posts aboutĀ hiking to the top of Hemphill Bald with themĀ and visiting our neighbor who has four wolves. Or you can get Benoit’s new book, Travels With Casey. We are even giving away a free copy of the book – read to the end of the post to find out how!

Travel with Casey

Did we mention thatĀ we are inĀ the book? Really, here is an excerpt from page 119:

High in the hills of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, six Huskies led us up a steep climb to Hemphill Bald, a meadow that starts 5,500 feet above sea level and borders the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

And one of us was mentioned by name. Guess who?

A few yards to my right, Casey rolled on his back in the sun-stained grass, his neck stretched like a goose’s. Behind me, Sam kneeled next to the leader of the Husky pack we were climbing with, a headstrong female nicknamed Queen Natasha the Evil.

takes over the world

I am guessing the next part is where that Queen takes over the world.

Sorry, QNTE, but this book is actually about Benoit and Casey traveling the country in their RV. The story is part road-trip, part dog story, and part an exploration of human’sĀ love affair with dogs. We are so glad to have it as a part of our collection of dog books!

good curl up

QNTE says it is a good book to curl up and read.

So how can you get your copy? Your local bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and most any other book retailer.

  32. Edie Chase on September 8, 2014 at 3:53 pm

  42. Beth Lowe on September 8, 2014 at 8:49 am

    Marvelous! Such funny pictures of QNTE. I (and Winter, of course) would love a copy of Travels with Casey. Can’t wait to read it – one way or another!

  43. Darlene on September 8, 2014 at 8:47 am

  45. huskymom on September 8, 2014 at 8:40 am

    I have a red Siberian named Casey and travel in an RV with three additional Sibes. (They have met The Thundering Herd!) I would love to win the free copy of “Travels with Casey”, but if I don’t, I’ll be buying the Kindle version.

  46. Sue Patterson on September 8, 2014 at 8:31 am

    Oh Queen, please pick me. I want a copy of ‘Travels With Casey’!

    Casey was smart to name you in there. Imagine the uproar if it had been Cheese Whiz!

  50. Nancy on September 8, 2014 at 8:10 am

    I would love to have a copy of this book!!

  51. Shelley Crabb on September 8, 2014 at 8:06 am

  53. Deborah on September 8, 2014 at 7:47 am

    I want a copy of “Travels with Casey”. A book with QNTE has to be good!

  54. Judy on September 8, 2014 at 7:42 am

    Ohhhh, I so want a copy of “Travels with Casey”
    Please, pretty please!
    QNTE, we ā¤ļø you!

  55. marleen on September 8, 2014 at 7:31 am

    Really. I want a copy of “Travels with Casey” (It’s good for my English……I like dogs AND I like this blog). I like ‘true stories’ more than fiction.

  56. jane on September 8, 2014 at 7:07 am

    I think it is wonderful that QNTE is mentioned in this book. With her having to be on rest duty maybe it will lift her spirit. Yeah I doubt it too. Huskies have to run and play and do their jobs. Get better soon Natasha. Be a good girl and do what you are told to heal. Hugs and kisses to the herd.
    P.S. I want a copy of Travels with Casey.

  57. Kathye Shuman on September 8, 2014 at 6:57 am

    I want a copy of “Travels with Casey”. Ever since you posted about their visit with you, I have been following them. The book is on my Christmas list, but a free copy would be awesome.

  58. Liz Mangold on September 8, 2014 at 6:40 am

    I would love a copy of Travels with Casey. I also think you should write a book, you potentially have a lot of material. (Maybe you already have one in the works?) A great title, The Accidental Husky Dad.

  59. Margaret Bunch on September 8, 2014 at 6:33 am

    I want a copy of ‘Travels with Casey’ sounds like a wonderful read!

  60. Michele R on September 8, 2014 at 6:13 am

    Of COURSE QNTE is mentioned by name in the book, it’s her use of the vulcan mind meld. šŸ™‚ Oh, and I want a copy of ‘Travels with Casey’

  61. Mom 'n Ice on September 8, 2014 at 6:04 am

    Ice sez: What a wonderful idea to give QNTE a copy of this book all to herself. With her being “laid up” and all, it will give her something to keep her occupied, make the time go faster until she can once again “run with the Herd”!
