Katie: Up And Down The Hall – Glenn Plaskin

Description

Katie Up and Down the Hall is a heartwarming memoir by bestselling author and journalist Glenn Plaskin. When he adopts a mischievous cocker spaniel named Katie, he has no idea the puppy will transform the lives of his neighbors in a Lower Manhattan high-rise. Over sixteen years, Katie brings together Pearl and Arthur, a warm-hearted elderly couple, and John and his young son Ryan, forming an unconventional but deeply bonded family.

From Hollywood highs to blustery New York winters, health scares, and even the trauma of 9/11, Plaskin recounts the joys, laughter, and trials that tie this group together. This moving story highlights how love, loyalty, and a little dog can turn neighbors into a family and teach profound lessons about connection, resilience, and the meaning of home.
