Ilustration As Books One Good Dog
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.

A man, A dog.......better to be loved than powerful and feared.On the most important day of his career, a frustrated, out of control Adam March gives his new (annoying) PA a slap on the face and his life is changed forever. With two years probation, loss of his heavyweight job and divorce from his rich-bitch of a wife on the horizon, Adam is assigned the embarrassing task of a community service job working for a local soup kitchen where he eventually loses a bit of his arrogance and gains a newThis book is well worth reading. Some of the reviews by readers were very critical but most really like the book. Maybe it isn't the very best writing or maybe there are some cliches, or other things mentioned. One reviewer said it should be marketed for young readers, which I disagree with. Regardless of all of the criticism, the underlying message of how Adam is healed emotionally with the help of the dog is excellent. When bad things happen to us in life, even if we have brought it on
All I can say is One Good Dog is One Good Book!Have the Kleenex handy because you're going to need them!Fantastic!!!!!
No, no, no, no, no. An affront to pit bulls and animal literature overall. Not only was this poor quality of writing but it was offensive the way the author portrayed the world of violent urban pit bull fighting. It should never be glorified, even if from the fictitious voice of the animal. Before the main character Chance is rescued he talks about being proud of it and being good at it (24). The use of bravado to depict animal cruelty is not ok, nor are the parts of personification that
As a blue collar, middle class woman, I have absolutely nothing in common with Adam, the main character of this novel so it really is no wonder that I had a hard time relating to him. However, he is just plain unlikable nevertheless. He is rich, snobby, and looks down on people that are a little more "down on their luck." Yes, he comes from a rough childhood but that doesn't mean it is ok to judge others. I felt little pity for him as he has a nervous breakdown and loses his high paying job, his
Feb 17, 2018Second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year. Im re-posting a 2012 review in honour of the Year of the Dog. Wishing all my friends who are celebrating a great doggie year. Woof woof! Anyone who has ever had a pet dog he or she loves will find Susan Wilsons One Good Dog a heartwarming read. The story is alternately told from the perspective of two narrators: man versus dog. The first is a third-person account by Adam March, a top executive whose life spun out of control in one rash act
Having shared my life with a pit bull that I rescued from a kill shelter, and who was the sweetest dog in the world, I have a hard time reading stories about how they are bred and used for dog fighting and then thrown out like trash once they've served their purpose as a bait dog or are no longer a money maker. It made the story in this book difficult to read at times. My heart ached reading about Chance's life and mistreatment before he and Adam found each other. I know what kind of life a dog
