Otto, the sage old pup who taught Wilson the ways of the Tao-te Ching, the ancient Chinese book of wisdom, is finally ready to rest his bones and retire to Boca Raton. Wilson is next in line to take his place as Master of the Taoist put lineage, but before he can assume his rightful position, he must train his own successor, the young pup Homer. Once Homer has learned the lessons of the Tao and earned his yin-yang badge, Wilson can take his place on Otto's throne. Through funny letters and charming photographs, Wilson convers with his apprentice on the subtle wisdom of the Tao-te Ching. But unfortunately for Wilson, Homer's not the easiest pupil to teach. He's more interested in filling his stomach than feeding his mind. And he'd rather nap his way to wisdom. The young pug's path to enlightenment is chock full of surprises, as Wilson is about to find out.
Wilson the Pug is a direct descendant and lineage bearer of Pug-tzu—companion of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu. The latter is widely credited with authoring the Tao Te Ching. Wilson lives in Berkeley, California, where he finds much tolerance for this Taoist canine American lifestyle.Nancy Levine is a veteran dog photographer and former staff photographer for the Elmsford, New York, Humane Society.
