A heartwarming memoir that reveals the best and worst of human nature, while celebrating the healing power of love between humans and animals. Barby Keel is a true force of nature whoโs met all kinds of animals in need of love and a second chance at life since she founded an animal sanctuary over 50 years ago. But the one who truly changed her life was Gabby, a frightened, golden-haired terrier who arrives at the sanctuary terrified of barking, playing or going outside. Just as Barby slowly begins to teach Gabby how to be a dog and unlock the happy spirit that has been trapped inside her, Barby faces her own battle against cancer and the two of them will have to help each other survive.
