Overview
Actor Vincent Price won acclaim for his performances as a menacing villain in dozens of macabre horror films, such as House of Wax. Less well known, though, is Priceās lifelong love of animals, especially his fourteen-year-old mutt, Joe. From his wifeās passion for poodles to film set encounters with all types of creatures, including goats, apes, and camels, Priceās life was full of furry, four-legged friends. But it was Joe who truly captured his heart. Intelligent, courageous, and devoted to his owner, Joe was a special dog with a personality all his own.

In this touching and light-hearted memoir, with a new introduction by Bill Hader and a preface by Vincent Priceās daughter, Victoria, Joe gets involved in all sorts of hijinks: At one point, the actor has to defend his canine companion in court! Despite some bad habits, like stealing guestsā shoes, pursuing lustful trysts with neighboring dogs, or belly flopping into the garden fishpondācrushing more than a few fishāPrice loves his Joselito, whose unconditional loyalty more than makes up for his minor indiscretions. And when Priceās elderly cousin who comes to stay with him is stricken with cancer, Joe never leaves her side. Priceās tender and witty recollections of his time spent with Joe will bring joy to any animal loverās heart.
