(PRLeap.com) "Top Dog," a new book by Kris Hoover, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.A compelling exploration of ambition, grief, and the seductive allure of power set against the high-stakes backdrop of 1970s professional dog showing.
The story follows Skip, a man struggling to make ends meet while preparing for the arrival of his first child with his wife, Teri. When Skip's enigmatic best friend, Dan, a man defined by global travel and untethered wealth, returns to town, he introduces Skip to a world of lavish excess. However, following a devastating personal tragedy, Skip's fascination with this elite lifestyle deepens as he and Teri enter the professional dog-showing circuit.
What begins as a search for a new start quickly evolves into a descent into a subculture defined by corruption, intrigue, and fierce competition. As the couple navigates this complex world, they must decide if the freedom they've found is worth the price of their own transformation.
"Top Dog" is more than a story about competition; it's a wild adventure about finding oneself in the most unexpected of places. It captures the unique energy of the seventies and the lengths people will go to find a sense of belonging.
