Joseph Monninger thought the worst when Nellie, his loyal golden retriever, became ill.
Home Waters is the story of the road trip that Monninger decided to embark on with Nellie, traveling out West to revisit their favorite mountain haunts and trout this to be their final excursion together, Monninger maps a course that includes the Wind River Range in Wyoming, the Bighorn River in Montana, and Henry Ford’s River in Idaho.
Painting a loving portrait of his canine companion and the joys of fishing, Monninger recalls the life events that Nellie has seen him through and describes how, oblivious to her presumed health problems, Nellie contentedly watches bison at Yellowstone, chases a coyote, and falls head over heels for a Chesapeake retriever named the charm of John Steinbeck’s
Travels with Charley with the unsentimental storytelling of
A River Runs Through It,
Home Waters is a delightful story of a beautiful friendship–one that is, in the end, renewed rather than ended.
