There's a special camaraderie among early-morning dog walkers, and on one such stroll, a chance encounter with an old acquaintance changed everything for Emmy-winning CBS correspondent Martha Teichner. As fate would have it, her friend knew someone who was dying of cancer, and desperate to find a home for her dog, Harry. He was a bull terrier—the same breed as Martha's dear Minnie. As Teichner recounts in this touching memoir, when she meets Harry and his owner Carol, what begins as a transaction involving a dog becomes a deep and meaningful friendship between two women with complicated lives and a love of dogs in common.

"A tour-de-force of storytelling…. This is a love story, masterful, warm and funny, heartfelt and heartbreaking. I absolutely loved this book."—Louise Penny
