Donald Atwell didn't want a dog. Â He already had an ex wife, a balky truck, and a cat that was part Persian and part Taliban. Â But when a whiskery Blue-Ridge hillbilly put his puppy out on the side of the road, Donald didn't have much choice but to pick her up and take her in. Jerusalem Gap is the story of what happened next. Â Of how, in saving a mutt, one prickly old cuss saved himself a little as well. An Old Yeller for the 21st century, Jerusalem Gap is for anyone who's ever loved a four-legged pal.
