Summary:
"When Connecticut veterinarian Melissa Shapiro gets a call about a tiny
deaf
blind
puppy
rescued from a hoarding situation in need of fostering, she doesn’t hesitate to say, “yes.” Little does she know how that decision will transform her, her
family
, and legions of admirers destined to embrace the saga of the indomitable
pink
pup. One of the most anxious dogs Melissa had ever encountered, the traumatized
Piglet
weighed under two pounds upon his welcome into the Shapiro household -- which included Melissa’s husband Warren and their three college-aged kids, plus six other rescued dogs. After weeks of reassurance, and lots of love,
Piglet
connected, gained confidence, and his extraordinary spirit emerged. Melissa soon forged a powerful bond with
Piglet
, allowing the two to communicate without sound or visual cues. Two months later, when the day arrived to say good-bye to the now dashing, six-pound
pink
boy dog with the larger than life spirit, Melissa faced a heart-wrenching decision. Could she hand him over to someone willing to give
Piglet
the full-time attention he required or could she adapt her schedule and her household to make a permanent place for him in her life and work? Of course, the answer was simple: love would find a way."--Publisher.
