Publisher's Summary
"...a very sweet dog story" (Outside)
The story of a dog, his human, and the friendship that saved both of their lives.
When Ben Moon moved from the Midwest to Oregon, he hadn’t planned on getting a dog. But when he first met the soulful gaze of a rescue pup in a shelter, Ben instantly felt a connection, and his friendship with Denali was born. The two of them set out on the road together, on an adventure that would take them across the American West and through some of the best years of their lives. But when Ben was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 29, he faced a difficult battle with the disease, and Denali never once left his side until they were back out surfing and climbing crags. It was only a short time later that Denali was struck by the same disease, and Ben had the chance to return the favor.
Denali is the story of this powerful friendship that shaped Ben and Denali’s lives, showing the strength and love that we give and receive when we have our friends by our side.
What the critics say
"Photographer and filmmaker Moon explores his relationship with his dog and their special bond forged during life and death moments in this moving debut...Moon inspires and educates in this tearjerking memoir of his best friend." (Publisher's Weekly)
"...Moon doesn’t tiptoe around his struggles with depression and anxiety, the dissolution of his marriage not long after he adopted Denali, or the confusing, frightening experience of being diagnosed with a type of cancer that’s so rare in young men that they often don’t get tested for it." (Outside)

For the dog lover in all of us.
A heartfelt story about friendship, stuggle, cancer and a dog's unrequited love and loyalty. In a time where many are one degree of separation from knowing somebody with cancer, this story shares a perspective that is honest and informative. It touches on themes of friendship, heartbreak, perseverance and the power of a dog's friendship. Ben tells a beautiful and personal story about his struggle with colon cancer and the love and bond he shares with his best friend, his dog Denali. One of the most enjoyable books I have read in a while.
