Book Description
Helga was lonely before she met Bowser, a German shorthaired pointer mix that liked to get his own way. They were perfect companions and grew old together. Sadly Helga became too sick to care for Bowser. She moved to an assisted-living facility where residents could not keep pets. Through a local dog rescue group, Bowser went to live with Jane and Steve. Jane and Bowser visited Helga often in her new home. They took many walks together in the garden. After too few years with Jane and Steve, Bowser crossed the Rainbow Bridge one evening. He waited patiently for Helga to join him one month later at the Bridge. Together they set out to find a new home. Eventually, they found the perfect spot where they built a community named Les Maisons. There, dogs could come to wait for their owners to join them or owners could come to wait for their dogs to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Word spread quickly about this new community as more dogs and humans arrived daily. Bowser, as Chief Boss Officer, was called on frequently to help solve some adjustment issues with newcomers. With help from new and old friends, Bowser and company made Les Maisons a place of love and joy where dogs and their owners can live happily ever after.

When Bowser the dog and his rescuer meet at the top of the Rainbow Bridge, they decide to find a place to live together. They name it Les Maisons, and other dogs and people soon seek Bowser’s home for its welcoming atmosphere and care. Bowser is the Chief Bark Officer of Les Maisons, and with the help of his Board of Directors, he overcomes challenges until Les Maisons is up and running smoothly ... for the most part. Much to everyone’s surprise, Henry plants a garden of nothing but cucumbers and is sad when no one else shares his passion. On the positive side, Lucky was a blind beagle with severe heart problems before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. With help from friends, Lucky takes up ballroom dancing and plays championship golf. One Saturday night, though, some misbehaving pups get themselves into trouble when the local police find them dancing Irish jigs on the railroad tracks. As the boss, Bowser comes to the rescue. It’s always an adventure for the residents of Les Maisons: a place of peace, acceptance, and unconditional love.
