This story is the first version of another novel by Frederick Regenold entitled "A Walk in La Jolla." Although each has the same main characters, including the dog, Rocky, the endings are completely different. If you like the people-and Rocky-in this book, and you're not sexually timid, you might want to check out the other story just for surprises; however, please be advised that the first 12 chapters are basically the same. Never is a touching love...
