Most people daydream about exciting careers. Some want to be astronauts, chefs, rock stars, or at least something that doesn't involve dodging sprinklers and holding a plastic bag at arm's length. Duke T. Turdwell? He picks up dog poop for a living. And somehow, it works.
This book pulls you into the weird, messy, unexpectedly hilarious world of a professional poop scooper. Duke has seen it all. Yards that look like archaeological digs. Dogs with attitudes. Owners who swear their tiny Yorkie couldn't possibly have created the mountain sitting in the corner of the lawn. Weather disasters. Surprise landmines. Heroic scoops and tragic misses. And a whole lot of stories that should not be true, but definitely are.
Despite the chaos, Duke finds something surprising in all of it. Joy. Gratitude. Community. The satisfaction of helping people who really need it. And the strange truth that even the most ridiculous job can change your life if you lean into it with humor and heart.
If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in one of the world's oddest small businesses, you're about to find out. It's messy. It's funny. It's real. And you'll never look at a backyard the same way again.
