Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had never taken in a dog before, but I was drawn to Sadie, and when I saw her at the shelter, I knew I had to take her to the vet. I didn’t want to adopt her, but I wanted to help her walk again.
#2 I was on a two-lane country highway as I drove past the fallow corn and cabbage fields, past the rough, weather-beaten barns and spiraling silos. I watched Sadie in my rearview mirror as she couldn’t stand, but after a brief struggle she was able to sit up and press her black nose against the window.
#3 I was driving into Illinois to bring home a dog that had been in a shelter. I was met with two things when I opened the back hatch of my SUV: a very guilty-looking dog and the overwhelming odor of dog mess. I knew that Sadie had been through a lot, but she still let me touch her.
#4 The vet said Sadie would never walk again, and that the bullet and shrapnel in her back were too embedded to be removed. He suggested I get her a cart so she could be pulled around.

#1

I had never taken in a dog before, but I was drawn to Sadie, and when I saw her at the shelter, I knew I had to take her to the vet. I didn’t want to adopt her, but I wanted to help her walk again.

#2

I was on a two-lane country highway as I drove past the fallow corn and cabbage fields, past the rough, weather-beaten barns and spiraling silos. I watched Sadie in my rearview mirror as she couldn’t stand, but after a brief struggle she was able to sit up and press her black nose against the window.

#3

I was driving into Illinois to bring home a dog that had been in a shelter. I was met with two things when I opened the back hatch of my SUV: a very guilty-looking dog and the overwhelming odor of dog mess. I knew that Sadie had been through a lot, but she still let me touch her.

#4

The vet said Sadie would never walk again, and that the bullet and shrapnel in her back were too embedded to be removed. He suggested I get her a cart so she could be pulled around.

#5

I brought Sadie to a second opinion, and Jami-Lyn, a vet who had worked with Dr. Rudawski, said that Sadie would probably be paralyzed and incontinent forever.

#6

I took Sadie home, and after thinking about it, I decided not to euthanize her. I was still hoping that there was some way to make her better, and I wanted to give her a chance.

#7

I brought Sadie into my home, and she began to feel loved. But I couldn’t fathom leaving her outside in the elements, so I decided to put her outside for the night.

#8

I had grown up in Wisconsin with difficult parents who didn’t always make life pleasant for me and my siblings. I had always loved animals, and now I was caring for a disabled special-needs dog.

#9

I had to sleep outside with my dogs. It was cold and uncomfortable, but I wanted to help Sadie get back into shape. I spoke to her in gentle tones, and she responded with a low, little whine that struggled to rise from the depths of her chest.

#10

The only hope for Sadie was to help her urinate by lifting her back end and pushing on both sides of her abdomen, which I was willing to do. But how could I be available to help her several times a day.
