I Picked Him: a Nick and Emerson Story

by Thomas J. Torrington

I PICKED HIM is the story of Nick Abbott and his dog, Emerson. Nick is a deaf man, and when he heard about a puppy at a nearby rescue shelter that had also become deaf due to neglect and illness, Nick decided to go meet him.

What follows is a tale that tugs at the heart strings and inspires the soul. It is a story about love beyond mere words.

I PICKED HIM is an early reader that children and parents will enjoy reading together, and one that children can grow to read themselves. A story of hardship, love, and overcoming obstacles, it has a lesson to teach all of us.

A portion of proceeds goes to help animal rescues/shelters, and to the hearing impaired/disabled. Thank you for your support!
