"Listen, you're the one asking too many questions. I'll handle it."  Gile stood up, and

just before heading out the door of Grind's barracks' quarters he turned his head back. "By next year you'll be a rich man Grinds,"  and then as he closed the door behind him, "and Anderson will be a dead one."

EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY is a story set in the late 1960's about a young Ben Anderson's move with his family from his hometown to Goodwin, a town where they feel they have enough friends, "their friends".  It's enough to make a man a loner. It doesn't take Anderson long to figure out that the best friend you have is yourself, ....and dogs!  Wanting to get the heck out of Goodwin, but only able to do it temporarily, Anderson takes a summer job boot camping guard dogs in the north woods of Minnesota. It's there he meets Darcy Runningdeer, a not too much older woman that awakes after years of suppressed desire. She too has had her fill of temporary friends.

     Finally the time arrives, Goodwin is history.  By joining the Navy Benjamin Anderson gets all and more than he bargained for in terms of temporary friends, temporary assignments, and being a pawn for an unknown enemy within his own unit. In a struggle for survival he finds two real friends; a mutt that just happened by and another pawn like himself that places his signature in the meaning of Every Dog Has Its Day.
