The speckled beauty : a dog and his people Cover Image Book

The speckled beauty : a dog and his people / Rick Bragg.

Dog and his people (portion title)
Bragg, Rick, (author.).

Summary:

Speck, a poorly behaved, half-blind stray dog, arrived in Rick Bragg's life at a moment of looming uncertainty. A cancer diagnosis, chemo, kidney failure, and recurring pneumonia had left him lethargic and melancholy. Speck helped--is still helping--when he is not being a bad boy. The Speckled Beauty captures the extraordinary, sustaining devotion between two damaged creatures who need each other to heal.
