One Good Dog

De: Susan Wilson

Narrado por: Fred Berman, Rick Adamson

Adam March is a self-made “Master of the Universe”. He has it all: the beautiful wife, the high-powered job, the glittering circle of friends. But there is a price to be paid for all these trappings, and the pressure is mounting—until the day Adam makes a fatal mistake. His assistant leaves him a message with three words: your sister called. What no one knows is that Adam’s sister has been missing for decades...that she represents the excruciatingly painful past he has left behind...and that her absence has secretly tormented him all these years. When his assistant brushes off his request for an explanation in favor of her more pressing personal call, Adam loses it. And all hell breaks loose.

Adam is escorted from the building. He loses his job. He loses his wife. He loses the life he’s worked so hard to achieve. He doesn’t believe it is possible to sink any lower when he is assigned to work in a soup kitchen as a form of community service.

But unbeknownst to Adam, this is where his life will intersect with Chance. Chance is a mixed breed Pit Bull. He’s been born and raised to fight and seldom leaves the dirty basement where he is kept between fights. But Chance is not a victim or a monster. It is Chance’s unique spirit that helps him escape and puts him in the path of Adam. What transpires is the story of one man, one dog, and how they save each other—in ways they never could have expected.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Chance tells his story in his own words, which makes his mistreatment and return to the fighting pit powerfully disturbing. Combined with Wilson's unflinching portrayal of Adam's struggle to overcome his past, Old Yeller's got nothing on this very good man and his dog story." ( Publishers Weekly)

Finishes Strong

This book began so slowly I came close to giving up on it. Adam Marsh's meltdown; the act that sets this whole story in motion was done in slow motion and with more detail than is imparted in The Odyssey. The characters aren't particularly well balanced for the most part; particularly for the first three quarters of the book. What saves this book is Adam's growth of character and the relationship between him and Chance the rescue dog. Well, that and the improvement in the relationship between Adam and his daughter Ariel; both of them growing as people as well as father and daughter. If you're able to get through the first couple of chapters it's a good listen.

BRAVO

This book was wonderful! What an emotional rags to riches story, for both man and dog. It was good from the first words. The dual precpective really worked and I'm guessing Ms. Wilson is a dog lover as she wrote this just as the loving relationship between man/dog exists, at least in my mind! Thanks for this great story!

Great read

This book should appeal to all, even if not dog ppl... It's humorous, heartwarming, and thoughtful in both delivery and impact... The mirroring of stories, human and dog, is deftly done... Chance is a great character, and an even better dog, and even better companion... That's his job after all;). Hankies may be needed, but things will turn out alright in the end... Worth the credit and you're welcome

Pretty good

The book was entertaining, especially the dog's side of the story. The man wasn't likable but it didn't distract from the story. Better than I thought it would be.

dog gone good

I liked how the dog had a perspective.

Just incredible

What an amazing story! But also not just that but great life advices and things to live by.

Lessons in Life

This was a wonderful story that puts the importance of things in life as a priority!
The narrator did a splendid job of voicing the personality of each character! I will listen to more from this author and narrator!!!

had to pull off the road to dry my eyes..

One Good Dog By: Susan Wilson

I simply loved this book. You are drawn in from the very first word. I definitely recommend this book. My deep love for dogs is shown threw a wonderful story. One you will greatly enjoy and long remember after.

Good story but not for the weary hearted

I liked the book but if you work in a shelter or have known or cared for a good that has been tortured or abused or used as bait in inhumane horrible dog fights, this book will hit you hard and take you down.
