Blogs by Niki Collins-Queen How a Rooster helped a husband become a Family Man 10/18/2012 3:39:07 AMBrian McGrory's magical love story, “Buddy: How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man” made me laugh an cry. His memoir begins with the amazing life and tragic death of Harry, his beloved golden retriever, after a five-year battle with lymphoma. It's also about Brian falling in love with and marrying Pam, Harry's life-long veterinarian, and his adjustment to living in suburbia with her two young daughters, two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and a snow white, red-crowned rooster named Buddy. While Buddy loves the women, he takes Brian's presence as an affront and does everything he can to drive Brian away.
