(CHARLESTON, WV) In the not too distant past, Patti Lawson was a diet-obsessed, high-achieving perfectionist. Grapefruit diet, juice diet, egg diet, 4-Day diet, no carb diet, all carb diet, you name it…she tried them all. She bought every diet supplement on the market, hired personal trainers, ran, walked, huffed, puffed, wrapped her thighs in plastic, suffered in steam rooms and added to her collection of AB rollers and thigh masters.
And so it went until a little dog taught her some big lessons about life. Deep in the throws of mourning the demise of her latest relationship, Lawson spent most of her time holed up in her house: a fire in the hearth, a rented movie in the DVD player and every imaginable comfort food on her coffee table. Several months later, feeling pudgy and pitiful she knew she had to do something to rejoin the human race.
One day, on an impulse - that she still can’t fully explain - she drove her pristine Mercedes to the nearest PetsMart. That fortuitous trip brought rascally puppy Sadie into Lawson’s life – a little black and tan dog she promised to take care of for “one night.”
A unique approach to dieting and lifestyle change, The Dog Diet (HCI, April 2006) is an inspiring and moving account of how changing the focus of your life can get you back in the game—and in Lawson’s case, back into her size four jeans.
“Dogs, unlike many people, are not only dependable, they make us better people. They teach us to look at ourselves like they do and most of us finally learn that happiness really is as Dorothy found out in Oz — right in our own back yards,” says Lawson. “They show us that we are OK just the way we are and love us for ourselves.”
Now an advocate for adopting shelter dogs, Lawson participates in fundraising events for shelters and supports spaying and neutering pets.
