Live Like Grunt is a story about a yellow lab who gave the Burdine family unconditional love and loyalty for about a dozen years. Grunt was his name and love was his game. Miles and Denise Burdine brought Grunt home for their three girls, Nikki, Laura and Alyce. His name came from Miles, who is a USMC Colonel, also known as a "Grunt." They do the hard work, the dirty work, the groundwork...the Grunt work. Grunt Dog also adorably 'grunted' quite a bit as a puppy. Grunt followed the girls wherever they went, did whatever they did and was always happy to do so. The feeling was mutual. But the girls slowly learned, it was Grunt's attitude that was worth emulating.
Miles created a daily "Thoughts by Grunt Dog" email he sent out to his girls. The 'thoughts' were
often accompanied by a picture of Grunt Dog and a quote. This book is a collection of Thoughts by
Grunt Dog that make for great life lessons for any family.
Everyday lessons can be learned in the most unexpected ways, like from a dog. Love fiercely, loyally and unconditionally. Maintain a positive attitude and soak up all life has to offer. The authors share some of the lessons their family learned from their yellow lab, Grunt. The lessons will uplift you and your family, .and remember to Live Like Grunt.
