A Dog's Chance (Second Chance, 2) Paperback – November 9, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Madison knows her fourteen-year-old daughter Abbie is struggling. She wishes she could give Abbie stability, the promise of a forever home in Millbury, but she is scared to stay in one town for too long, and every day Abbie seems more anxious. Until a chance encounter with a beautiful, boisterous golden retriever puppy called Duke changes everything...
Duke bounces into the community centre where Madison is working and when Abbie meets him she stops pacing the room. Duke is tugging his owner, seventy-five-year-old Arthur, along for the ride, and instantly Madison sees a way she and Arthur can help each other. She offers to train Duke so that Abbie gets to see him, and from that moment the four of them become a family.
Madison finally feels like she has a second chance at life and a reason to stay in town, but when her past catches up with her they are all at risk. Duke may have united this family, but will he be able to keep them together?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dog,s Chance
I loved this story, I have always had pets, always been happier with my cat or my dog next to me. I had a big loss too and my little dog slept on my bed and spent every waking hour close by my side for years while I nursed my partner with his illness. Wh3n he passed she still kept me company until it was her time to go. The story explains all the sadness, anxiety and emotional help a pet can give us to heal. Everyone should grow up with a pet, they are the very best companions. I heartily recommend this book. Be prepared to shed a few tears.

A really special story and if you are a dog liver you'll not be disappointed ! Plenty of intrigue and wondering throughout and then it all comes together, worth reading and certainly recommended.
