I received a free e-copy of this book from the author/publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Sadie was four years old when she had a litter of puppies and was shot in the back and head and left for dead. She was brought to a no-kill shelter where she was found by animal lover Joal who ended up on a mission to save Sadie's life and ended up having Sadie change her life in return.

This is a really sweet book though it's hard to read sometimes when you think about how sweet Sadie is and the horrible thing that was done to her and left her almost a paraplegic.

I really admire Joal for all of her work with Sadie. She practically took on a full time job with Sadie (something that was mentioned several times throughout the book) but she did really have to put in so much time and effort, and still does, to help Sadie live her best life.

I felt a bit angry on Joal's behalf when she mentioned how even after years of helping and loving Sadie, and Sadie changing Joal's life in return her family were still not on board. I don't understand how you can't admire something like that and love Sadie. Surely there's a great lesson for the grandchildren there in loving except the odds and never giving up hope, not to mention the lessons about acceptance and working hard.

This a great book and a great story and I'm definitely going to be following Sadie's journey from now on.
