To let you know a little more about the book, it begins when I say “no” to my daughter Jackie’s pleas for a dog, fearing it would be too rambunctious around her disabled little sister, Elizabeth. But I do make Jackie a promise I think I will never have to keep: “If God brings a dog to our door, then you can have it.” In the meantime, our family wrestles with a series of dysfunctional pets: a flesh-eating hamster, an attack cat, killer ants and a very stinky rabbit. Then one day, the unexpected happens: a shivering, dirty puppy shows up at our door. But is this dog really Heaven-sent?
