On the Couch — David Johnson

Nagi's story describes his journey from pound imprisonment

to life with an extremely dysfunctional, yet animal-loving, couple.

Forced to become a mental health co-therapist, Nagi seeks solace

in his relationships with two neighbor dogs, Tina Weiner and Sugar

Bear, and an overly chatty beetle of questionable lineage, Rex. He

becomes Nagi's mentor, quick to offer up unsolicited advice, along

with far-fetched life experiences, so far-fetched, in fact, that the

reader will question whether Rex is a compulsive liar or a sage from

ancient times.

Somehow, Nagi learns to make the best of his new life, living

with two delusional parents whose love turns sour and a cast of

characters who will leave you wondering who is crazier than who

and which one needs to spend the most time “on the couch.” The

reader soon discovers that the “couch” is where truths and innermost

thoughts are revealed.
