THE DOG WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN Travels with Albie: An American Journey

Listeners join author Peter Zheutlin as he embarks upon an ambitious road trip across North America with his rescue dog, Albie. Narrator Gregg Rizzo perfectly encompasses the tone of the travelogue. Initially, when Zheutlin is enthusiastic about his trip, Rizzo captures with a chuckle the author's humorous observations of people and places, and injects the perfect amount of warmth into his voice when Zheutlin shares his love for Albie. As Zheutlin's enthusiasm for the trip wanes, weariness and cynicism set in, which Rizzo also reflects in his delivery. Occasional snide remarks that pepper the observations suggest a man who's been on the road too long and just wants to get home to his wife and reunite Albie with the family's other dogs.
