<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A wounded war veteran and Rosie, a woman wrongly imprisoned for murdering her husband, bond over training a service dog and vow to get Rosie out of jail.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Susan Wilson is back with another signature heartwarming novel--one that begs the question: Can a dog lead the way to finding one's humanity? </b> <p/>After spending years in prison for a crime she didn't intend to commit, Rose Collins is suddenly free. Someone who knows about the good work she has done--training therapy dogs while serving time--has arranged for her early release. This mysterious benefactor has even set her up with a job in the coastal Massachusetts community of Gloucester, on the edge of Dogtown, a place of legend and, for the first time since Rosie's whole world came crashing down, hope. There she works to rebuild her life with the help of Shadow, a stray dog who appears one rainy night and refuses to leave Rose's side. <p/>Meghan Custer is a wheelchair-bound war veteran who used to be hopeless, too. Living at home with her devoted but stifling parents felt a lot like being in prison, in fact. But ever since she was matched with a service dog named Shark, who was trained in a puppy-to-prisoner rehabilitation program, Meghan has a brand new outlook. Finally, she can live on her own. Go to work. And maybe, with Shark by her side, even find love again. <p/>Two strong women on a journey toward independence whose paths collide in extraordinary ways. Two dogs who somehow manage to save them both. A tale of survival and a testament to the human spirit, <i> The Dog I Loved</i> is an emotional and inspiring novel that no reader will soon forget.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for <i>The Dog I Loved: </i></b> <p/>"With a <b>deft hand and keen eye, </b> Susan Wilson <b>brilliantly illuminates the emotional power of dogs</b> to lighten our hearts and transform our lives." --Nick Trout, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Wonder of Lost Causes</i> <p/><b>Broken souls are made whole in this beautiful story about the power of connecting. </b>Susan Wilson does a gorgeous job of inhabiting her characters - both human and canine - in a book that captivates on every page. <i>The Dog I Loved</i> is<b> tender, warm, insightful, and ultimately, very human.</b> --Ellen Meister, author of <i>The Other Life</i> <p/><i>The Dog I Loved</i> is <b>gorgeous and wrenching, </b> psychologically astute and compassionate.
