Woman misses having a dog, signs up to train one as a service dog. Yellow lab, she has him on weekends; during the week he is trained by prison inmate. Insightful and interesting. ( ) I loved the beginning, got bored in the middle and then loved the end. Even though I knew what was eventually going to happen in the end, I couldn't stop the tears. I give this author (and all other puppy raisers) kudos for doing such an unselfish act over and over again. What lost me was page after page talking about the crime that the prisoner puppy raiser had committed --- just didn't shock me as it had the author. Maybe its my negative attitude shining thru but things people due, or are capable of doing, just don't surprise me anymore. Sad to say :( Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Still mourning the death of her previous dog, Sharron Kahn Luttrell decides to volunteer as a weekend puppy raiser in a program for prison-trained service dogs. Daisy captures Sharron's heart the moment she's handed the leash. Keith, the convict who cares for Daisy during the week, seems intimidating at first, but he is soft-spoken and polite. Each new command Daisy masters suggests a man who is patient, persistent, and committed. Sharron and Keith soon bond over their love for Daisy. Then Sharron discovers the horrifying crime that led to Keith's incarceration and her faith in him is shattered. Ultimately, it is Daisy and her unwavering trust in Keith that helps Sharron come to terms with Keith's past, and to recognize his struggle for redemption. Sharron and Keith start out believing that they are training Daisy, but in truth she is the one showing them the way, gently pushing them to let go and experience what it really means to sit, to stay, and to love.--From publisher description.
