On Her Watch (Bree Taggert, #8)

by Melinda Leigh

Dogs were more honest, more loyal, and frankly, better than most people. Canines encompassed all the good qualities of humanity and none of the bad. If there was a heaven, and Matt ended up there someday, he’d be seriously upset if there were no dogs. He might not even want to stay.

Cancer is a thief. It robs you of your life long before it kills you. It’s a soul-sucking disease that drains the happiness from your entire family and leaves them nothing more than empty shells.

“The best we can do is try to be better going forward.”
