In Lessons From Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog, Dave Barry '69 takes some wise cues from his beloved dog about how to live a better life, offering thoughts about letting go of anger, having more fun, not letting your happiness depend on things, making new friends (and keeping the ones you have), and the importance of paying attention to the people you love, “Not later. Right now.”
