Synopsis

Amazing (furry) lessons from a dog’s life

You’ll be enthralled by this story of a man and his lovable Labrador retriever, Hannah, and what their canine friendship can show us about life, grace, and long walks in the park.

Hannah was Dave Burchett’s best friend. He couldn’t imagine starting a day without her tail wagging an energetic greeting, her body wiggling with sheer gratitude when her food dish was filled, and her unbridled enthusiasm for tennis balls. (How she fit three tennis balls in her mouth at once, he’ll never know.)

So when he first learned of Hannah’s cancer diagnosis, Dave decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and loving) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. The lessons were invaluable: from being presentto trusting the master. Dave started to see that the insights he was gaining were more than just journal entries about a family pet. Through Hannah’s antics, God was preparing Dave for life itself.

There are two paths focused on in this book, yet both equal and connected. Full of Bible verses and lessons, and understanding your relationship with your dog and how your life connects to it all. While the subject of this non-fiction novel is about life, loss, and grace. Thankfully it focuses on li......more

Goodreads review by Fran on March 09, 2015

Those of us who own dogs or simply know of dogs recognize that there is something about the canine species that can make you believe that dogs were put on earth to show their oft-erring human companions that there is a better way to be and to live. How many of us as dog owners often pause and think,......more
