Synopsis

Some books inform. Some books entertain and make us smile and chuckle. Some books bring back wonderful memories. "Sophie; The Rescue Dog Who Rescued Us" will do all of these. And who better to write one's own life story than the person who lived it? That's right. This story had to be told, in large part, by Sophie, in her words, reflecting her thoughts. Of course we all want to tell that great story of what cute thing our dog did but only our dog can tell why they did it or what they were thinking. Since dogs don't have thumbs and 'neverhitthespacebarwhentyping', the co-author, John Troche, had to help just a little in telling and 'typing' the story. Maybe your memory has many special moments you and your furry friend have shared. Sophie will make those come alive again. Maybe you're the parent or parents whose children are pleading for a dog with the classic, "We'll take care of it, please, please." Sophie will show how you and your family will be rescued rather than the other way around. Each chapter's pages, written in a friendly narrative style, will have you feel like you're sitting in the same room or on a park bench watching the action take place right before you. Going to the shelter with us when we were "just going to check out some dogs"? Yup, you're right there saying, "You were hooked before you ever left home!" Ever had a valedictorian in your family? Well, you'll share the pride as Sophie takes home the honor! And how does a dog feel about that "Doggie Obedience School"? Sophie will let you in on what they're really thinking when you're doing the repeated, "Sit! I said SIT!" routine. Bike rides? Sailing? Jet skiing? Sure! Don't you share these activities with your best friend? The pictures accompanying each chapter provide the final touch making the story come alive much as if you were watching an entertaining and heart warming movie. What if there are some problems, either health or behavior issues that you just can't solve or didn't solve with your furry pal. The final chapters provide some helpful information as to how to get answers. Soph wanted you to know these things. And finally, as Sophie takes you on her life long journey and tells you, in her words as only a dog could do, yes that's correct, in her words, what's really important about this book and Sophie's story is that smiles will certainly be part of your experience as they were of ours.
