Jacob, Lynne and Fred's #1 dog, takes on the challenge of telling his stories about the many experiences he and his humans had on their seven year adventure going 'back-to-the-land' in the 60's and 70's.
He gives us a glimpse of what it was like for a couple of city 'hippies' who were determined to survive and flourish in a very unfamiliar and demanding environment.
Armed with bundles of how-to books and little experience, these 'back-to-the-landers' struggled to learn how to survive. They found chickens that didn't lay eggs, a goat that it was almost impossible to milk, and a horse that avoided work. They got a wind powered generator after they built a geodesic dome with no power. They cleared land for gardens and fields and survived to move onto the next adventure.
"Jacob's Tails . . ." is a collection of stories with over 50 photographs highlighting the memories of seven years Jacob spent with his humans, Lynne and Fred, in the middle of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
"Jacob's Tails . . ." starts with a search for the perfect place to find freedom and independence and follows their progress through plans that didn't work, tragedies, and successes.
His stories are real and true and from a special canine perspective.
