You’ve probably never heard of Gus Town Books. That’s because my dog Gus runs it. And he sucks at marketing.

To be in his presence is to be in Gus Town. It's a great place. There are treats and walks and belly rubs and Friday night is popcorn night where there is no sharing. Everyone gets their own bowl. It's a place where sad looks from cute faces can hypnotize humans into doing pretty much anything.
