Summary:
"Eric O'Grey was 150 pounds overweight, depressed, and sick. After a lifetime of failed diet attempts, and the onset of type 2 diabetes, O'Grey went to a new doctor,
who
surprisingly prescribed a shelter
dog
. And that's when O'Grey met Peety: an overweight, middle-aged, and forgotten
dog
who
, like O'Grey, had seen better days. The two adopted each other and began an incredible journey, forming a bond of unconditional love that forever changed their lives. Over the course of their first year together, O'Grey lost 150 pounds, and Peety lost 25. As a result, O'Grey reversed his diabetes, got off all medication, and became happy and healthy for the first time in his
life
. He started dating after being alone for fifteen years - and eventually reconnected with the long-lost love of his
life
. And Peety? His affection would lead the way on the doggie adventure of a lifetime. For anyone
who
is ready to make a change in his or her
life
, and for everyone
who
knows the joy, love, and hope that a
dog
can inspire"--Provided by publisher.
