THE SOLDIER’S K-9 COMPANION is a phenomenal, heart-tugging story that will have you pulling for Luke’s recovery, the success of Destiny’s dog training business and a happily-ever-after love story. Belle Calhoune gives us a story that grabs you from page one, wind itself around one’s heart and leaves us with renewed faith that things happen in God’s plan – not ours. It’s a story of second chances – both in life and love, empathy, romance, aspirations, strength, friendship, and wraps it all in a fabulous thread of faith that brings the story to life.
