Dog Medicine is the story of a woman in deep depression saved only by the love of a dog, who taught her what true love looked like. 

At twenty-two, Julie Barton collapsed on her kitchen floor in Manhattan. She was one year out of college and severely depressed. Summoned by Julie’s incoherent phone call, her mother raced from Ohio to New York and took her home. Psychiatrists, therapists and family tried to intervene, but nothing reached her until the day she decided to do one hopeful thing: adopt a Golden Retriever puppy she named Bunker.

Dog Medicine captures in beautiful, elegiac language the anguish of depression, the slow path to recovery, and the astonishing way animals can heal even the most broken hearts and minds.

Join me as I interview the author of Dog Medicine, Julie Barton, and we discuss this moving, heartwrenching, life-saving, life-affirming book.   If you live in Portland, come and meet Julie on Friday, November 13th for a reading @ 7 pm at:  Another Read Through
