Star Crossed (Angel Paws)

How can you love someone unconditionally while knowing she will one day break your heart?

Liz and Tom long for a baby—not a dog. When Tom suggests adopting a puppy, Liz is unconvinced. She isn't looking for a substitute. Then she discovers puppy raisers: the behind-the-scenes volunteers of the service dog world. The commitment is only for a year, not a lifetime, with help along the way from the organization through the joys and challenges of a new puppy. It all seems perfect. Perfect until it's time to say goodbye....

Stories in the Angel Paws series celebrate the unique bond between canines and humans with heartfelt, moving, and insightful tales for anyone who has ever loved a dog.
