Summary

Summary

When Ed Breslin bought a new dog, Miss Dutchie, he wasn’t expecting his beloved pet to help him beat alcoholism. But caring for Miss Dutchie completely transformed Ed’s outlook on life.

The unconditional love Miss Dutchie and Ed shared was a crucial incentive to overcoming his devastating addiction, and this moving story speaks to anyone who has ever loved a dog or battled their own personal demons.
