A journalist is sent to interview a veteran turned dog handler. The only problem is that she is deathly afraid of dogs. In order to get her interview Donovan insists she interact with the dogs. She really wants to know about his blog for PSTD victims, can she get over her fears to get the interview? Very good book, highly recommended!

Great story
A story about 2 people with PTSD and how he helps her overcome her fear. The scenes with the dogs & puppy are cute & fun. I enjoyed the sleazy boss/editor getting ushered out.

Would have been a five if they left out the preaching.
Good story although fear is not usually overcome quite so easily. I enjoyed the concept that animals can help us heal.

3.5 Sweet novella with a very palatable understated religious message.
