A Dog Named Beautiful
[Macmillan] Booklist Starred Review. When U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Rob Kugler returned home from Iraq after losing his brother in the fighting, he was a broken man. Rob’s marriage fell apart, and all he felt he had left in life was his beloved chocolate lab, Bella. Then Bella got cancer — and everybody told Rob to put the dog down. Instead, Rob had her cancer-riddled leg amputated, buying her more time and affording her more comfort — and took off with Bella on an epic road trip around America. A Dog Named Beautiful is a book full of inspiration, hope, love, tears, and laughs. Enjoy the journey!
