Always attracted to the quintessential bad boy with his good looks and charming ways, she was sure she could change "the one" into a devoted partner and loving father, but her compulsive giving and fixing behaviors went hand in hand with her disappointing and disastrous romantic relationships. On a purposeful trip to the pound, she hoped to find a dog to care for, one that would sniff out the bad guys, give her a sense of purpose, and help her find meaning in her crazy world. Thoughtful and funny, this memoir follows Susan's life through the many ups and downs on her way to finding unconditional love. Her journey is a personal one, full of the hard decisions it took to learn to put herself first and stop entering and staying in unhealthy relationships. By saving a dog, she rescues herself, learning to love herself as much as her dog loves her."-Provided by publisher.14aHartzler, Susan,d1958- 4aDog ownersxBiography. 4aDog ownersxPsychology. 4aHuman-animal relationships.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oSF422.82.H37 A3 2021pPNLIB21063044r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c3231d3231
