About the Book

Breakfasts with Buster is an incredibly touching memoir of how author Valerie J. Wood and her husband helped their dog, Buster B. Brown, battle bone cancer.

Whether or not you're a dog lover, this tremendous tale shows the difference that faith, love and perseverance can make. It is a story of sorrow and triumph, as it is a diary of a journey that immortalizes the courage their big brown boy demonstrated in the face of adversity. It was a very long year--but a very special one.

Part memoir, part animal cancer treatment guide, in four chapters the author shares Buster's entire life and what it took to keep him going after the grim diagnosis. From making dramatic changes in Buster's diet to the use of acupuncture, supplements and Omega-3 Oils, Valerie was able to help Buster beat the odds for 10 months.

This memoir shares the journey that the author took with her beloved dog, describing the treatment protocols, providing insights about general dog health and nutrition and detailing the dietary changes she made. It is a journey that every pet owner fears, but one which thousands face each year.

As Buster battled his bone cancer, he ended up teaching those who loved him a few more lessons, ones that are immeasurably sweet and absolutely unforgettable. Buster died with dignity, but until then he was given a better quality of life than any veterinarian could have imagined. He left behind wonderful memories for Valerie and her husband, and his story left a legacy that could help other pet owners and their animals.

With resourceful treatment, Valerie Wood was blessed with nearly an additional year of Breakfasts with Buster.
