A dog named Beautiful : a Marine, a dog, and a long road trip home / Rob Kugler.
US Marine Rob Kugler not only gave a year of his life in service to his country, but he had also lost a brother in the fighting. Lost in grief, Rob found solace and relief in the one thing that never failed to put a smile on his face: his chocolate lab Bella. When Bella developed cancer, the prognosis wasn't good. Instead of waiting at home for the cancer to spread after amputating the cancer-riddled leg, Rob and Bella packed their bags and hit the road. As they criss-crossed the country Rob and Bella met people quick to make friends with this incredible three-legged dog, and shared hope, love, tears, and laughs.
