From the Inside Flap
My conversion as a dog owner took place almost immediately after Ben came home. Here I thought I was getting a dog to find and flush pheasants during the fall hunting season in the Upper Midwest. Confirming that intention was the outdoor dog run that had been constructed in our yard in anticipation of his arrival. “Dogs live outside,” after all. At least that is where our family dogs had always lived, for as long as I could remember. Ben was different, much different. He would never spend a night in that pen. In fact, it was soon dismantled and removed, which provided the first clue that I had changed. Or rather, that I had been changed simply by the presence of a different kind of dog that didn't demand in-house residence but rather just seemed to belong there.It didn't take long for me to realize that I had received something far more than “a dog.” Rather, I had been blessed with a year-round, life-enriching relationship that would expand my boundaries of joy and sorrow and help me understand poignant lessons about life and faith.This is the story of my boy Ben. It's a story about love and loss. But mostly, it's a story about grace.
