Book Summary

My human had a terrible idea.

I know because it nearly killed me.

She was going to ride 5,000 miles across America to educate people about wild horses and inspire the adoption of 5,000 mustangs.

Naturally, I was along for the ride.

My name is Kayuh. I'm Lisanne Fear's psychiatric service dog, which means keeping an eye on her is quite literally my job. Long before the Mustang Discovery Ride began—and long after the cameras stopped rolling—I had the best seat in the house.

What began as an audacious mission to ride 5,000 miles across America and inspire the adoption of 5,000 mustangs became something much bigger. There were wild horses and unexpected friendships. Brutal days and extraordinary kindness. Love, loss, fear, purpose, sacrifice, and the kind of trail magic you can't plan for.

And through it all, I watched my human chase an enormous dream while trying to figure out who she was, what mattered, and what a life well lived might actually look like.

Humans have a funny habit of pretending they're fine when they're not. They worry about what everyone thinks. They convince themselves they have to do everything alone. They get so busy becoming who they're supposed to be that sometimes they forget who they are.

Dogs notice these things.

FEARLIS KAYUH is the true story of one woman's 5,000-mile ride across America—told by the dog who was there when the cameras were rolling, when no one was watching, and for everything in between.

Every battle. Every step. Every mile.

I saw it all.
