Dedication
To all those who further the human-canine bond with kindness and compassion.
Chapter 1
Call me grateful. Not a do-gooder and certainly no philanthropist, but someone who firmly believes in giving back and doing my part. Sounds crazy, I know, and pompous as well. My small share of Great Marsh, Virginia, was trivial in comparison with the mansions, estates, and megahomes of my affluent neighbors. That was fine with me. To an orphan, foster child, and army veteran, stability and self-sufficiency were the gold standard, priceless proof of beating the odds in a tough world. Every day I counted my blessings—Creature Comforts, a thriving business crafting leather products for dog and horse fanciers, and a host of pets and good friends to sustain me. Add in a jaw-dropping partner, Wing Pruett, and his darling daughter and my life was full. Unlike some of the moneyed malcontents haunting the local boutiques, I thanked heaven every day for those blessings.
