Even the Dog Knows by Jason F. Wright, New Release!
Synopsis:
A family’s old, beloved dog
takes a final road trip to help his humans find forgiveness and healing.
Meg Gorton finds herself alone and lonely in Florida. Three years earlier,
she had packed what she could fit into her sister’s car and asked her estranged
husband, Gary, to take care of Moses, their beloved black Labrador. Things
between Meg and Gary hadn’t been the same after the loss of their only daughter
many years ago. Even after raising their grandson, Troy, it was clear that if
Meg wanted a new beginning, she would have to do it alone.
Haunted by the tragedy of his
daughter’s death, Gary is stuck in his life in Woodstock, Virginia. He still
owns and drives the bus for their hometown minor league baseball team, and he
still thinks about the day his wife drove away.
Everything changes when Meg
contacts Gary with a request to bring Moses to visit her one last time before
the old dog passes on. Gary is reluctant, but Troy thinks it’s an excellent
idea. They could even travel together in Gary’s bus. Along the way, Gary takes
a detour to visit Troy’s ex-girlfriend, Grace. Gary might not know how to fix
things with his wife, but he knows he doesn’t want Troy to make the same
mistakes he did.
Although Moses is just a dog,
he’s very observant. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out they are going
on to see Meg. He knows he’s an old dog and that his time is near, but he also
knows his family needs his help.
Even the Dog Knows is a novel that will take readers on a thousand-mile journey to find forgiveness, understanding, healing, and the meaning of true and lasting love
Just read the book! Just do it, you will be so glad that you did! This story is moving. It follows this family on a literal journey, not just a physical journey but an emotional one as well. Told from several perspectives, I felt like I was there observing and watching everything unfold right in front of me. From Gary, Troy, Moses, and Meg, you get to see things from every perspective. The supporting characters were every bit as important as the main characters and I loved them just as much. This story is a journey of healing, heartache, laughter, love, and forgiveness. Even the Dog Knows will have you reflecting on your own life and what is most important. A life changing book that shares important lessons and values, I would recommend this book to every reader. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.
