Peter Bogyo is a Broadway general manager who has loved Scottish Terriers since he was a kid and has an extensive collection of Scottie Memorabilia. After his cherished Scottie Bilbo passed away, Peter wrote a touching yet humorous obituary as a way to cope with his loss and pay tribute to his beloved pet. He shared the obituary on social media, and the positive response was overwhelming. This inspired Peter to write a book filled with obituaries written in a similar style for other dog owners. However, they're not just sad memorials. In fact, the book is called "A Dog’s Life" because they are meant to celebrate and to pay tribute to the happiness that so many people shared during their dog’s life together.
Host John Bartlett talks to Peter Bogyo about his book, "A Dog’s Life: A Collection of Humorous Tributes Celebrating Man’s Best Friend." They discuss what he discovered across writing obituaries for different dogs and the happiness people shared during their dog’s life together.
