Stars: 4
Review by: jamBob
A sweet story about a golden retriever mix who came from a family with an abusive dad, roamed the streets until a shelter picked her up. At the shelter for only a few weeks she was adopted at the senior age of 9 to a 90 year old man who had lost his wife. Another story of who really saved whom? I love dogs and cringe at dog stories that end in the passing of the pet so I read the end first then started the beginning. It is a story about hope for senior animals found at shelters through no fault of their own. Perhaps a family member has an allergy, they move to a home that does not accept pets, or the economy cannot support the medical care and feeding of a beloved dog. I give this very active elderly man so much credit to invest in this dog when both of them were at the time of their lives when medical issues creep up and we are not as flexible as we would like to be. But it's another story contained within of selflessness, needing companionship, and opening your heart to love, so much love that the expense, pain of loss and inconvenience make it worth it all!
