David Planter fights authority, and authority usually wins. Raised in a series of foster homes after his mother abandons him at the age of five, David survives nine foster homes in eleven years, an unintended and extended stay in juvenile detention, a series of dysfunctional multicultural relationships, and a tour of duty in Afghanistan, only to return to a country where he still doesn't fit in. EVERY DOG is a tragi-comic multicultural novel where every dog will have his day ... and sometimes, despite tragedy, love strikes twice.
