Dogged Optimism: Lessons in Joy from a Disaster-Prone Dog

Dogged Optimism: Lessons in Joy from a Disaster-Prone Dog
For anyone who has ever loved a pet against their better judgement...
Dogged Optimism is the story of a scruffy little dog and the woman who loves her. Killarney the Aussie terrier is not afraid of anything: big dogs, snakes, cancer. Belinda Pollard is afraid of many things, so Killarney becomes her in-house motivational speaker through grief, job loss and failed romance. If youâ€™ve ever loved a pet or needed a laugh, youâ€™ll be inspired by Killarneyâ€™s motto: Grab life by the throat and shake every last drop of joy out of it. Wrestle it, if you have to.

- â€œA heart-warming tale of one womanâ€™s special bond with her four-legged friend.â€ Tanya Arnold, Pupcake Queen
This book is written with Australian expressions and spelling, so prepare for some surprises. See if you can define the word "sook" by the end of the book!
