Publisher's Synopsis
Dogs are filled with love and loyalty... and they have life lessons to teach us too. This rare gem of a memoir will show you how to listen.
Recovery begins when we learn how to be quiet... and who better to teach that lesson than a dog?
There's a good reason that dogs are used to comfort victims in courtrooms... that they work with therapists to improve a patient's outcome... that they're taken into schools or used as emotional support animals...
A dog will never judge you, only shower you with love, loyalty, and comfort... and they feel your feelings.
Dogs are incredibly intuitive animals-and when we tune into them, we can tune into ourselves and find the strength inside us to overcome the hardest things.
Laurie Bowen knows this very well, and she wouldn't be the person she is today without the lessons she's learned from her dogs and the love they've given her over the years.
Diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder from trauma, she's found her way to a place of peace and begun to work through the experiences that have traumatized her, soothing her most painful wounds by spending time with animals and listening to the lessons they've had to show her.
In this raw and vulnerable memoir, she reflects on her relationships with her dogs over the years and explores old wounds, offering hope, inspiration, and valuable life lessons to anyone who's experienced terrible trauma or sadness.
No matter what you've been through, you have an inner strength that can carry you toward peace and recovery... and listening to the lessons that dogs have to teach us can show you the way.
Through her emotional and vulnerable memoir, Laurie Bowen reflects on her own experiences and shares the life lessons she's learned through her dogs in the hopes that you too may benefit.
