| Summary |
Marley meets...Cujo? A dog down the block is being forced to live outside, at the mercy of abusers, wild animals and brutal weather. The author does nothing-at first. Then, an accidental meeting with Lance, a Border Collie, sets the wheels in motion for a life-saving rescue and a disappointing discovery: Lance turns out to be a semi-feral dog. During the first twenty-four hours of his liberation, he attacks both the author and his wife, and soon proves to be a threat to anyone he can get his teeth on. His rescuers ask themselves: Do we euthanize the dog we rescued? Making their soul-searching even more difficult is Lance's alter ego; when not threatening, he's getting into all kinds of highly entertaining mischief. Among the many "victims" of his hilarious quirkiness are a State Trooper, the local school bus driver, and a neighborhood drug dealer. This rollicking and-at times-heart-wrenching, true-life account of the unorthodox rescue of an unorthodox dog has been called "riveting," "spellbinding," and "jaw-dropping." The compelling tale reveals as much about the rescuers as it does the rescued. |
