About this listen

Joal Derse Dauer was donating blankets at a local no-kill shelter when an injured and despondent dog caught her eye. With three "fur babies" already at home, Joal wasn't looking to adopt another dog. But there was something special about Sadie....

With patience, hope, and plenty of love, Joal saw her canine companion grow in strength and joy. And before long, she discovered that sweet Sadie had transformed her life in ways she never could have imagined.

Joyous and inspiring, Saving Sadie is a triumphant story about the power of unconditional love and second chances - for humans and animals alike.

The last few chapters became somewhat repetitive and I confess that I skimmed quite a bit. More than a bit sad that the dog project seems to have damaged family relationships.

remarkable story, but...
