"A Good Dog: The Story of Orson, Who Changed My Life" by Jon Katz is a heartfelt memoir about the author's relationship with his border collie, Orson. The book chronicles their journey from the moment they first meet at Newark airport, where Orson causes quite a commotion, to their life together on a hillside farm in upstate New York.

Orson is described as intense, smart, and a bit crazy. Despite attempts at obedience training and herding instruction, Orson struggles to adapt to traditional roles, but he finds his purpose as Katz's companion. The book explores the deep bond between Katz and Orson, and how Orson helps Katz navigate life's challenges and find a new path.

However, as Orson's behavior becomes increasingly aggressive, Katz faces a difficult decision about the dog's future. The memoir is a poignant and powerful story of love, friendship, and the responsibilities that come with caring for a special pet.
