Gimme Shelter

What if someone special came into your life, someone who could see you, and all of your camouflaged faults, with utter transparency? What if that someone had four furry legs, a damp nudging nose, and deep longing eyes? What changes would you be willing to make? For nearly all of his adult life, Louis Spirito was a raging bull, a fiery writer from a ‘Goodfellas’ family who exploded at the slightest provocation. Then he rescued Tanner, an abused, timid, shelter pit bull that cowered at strange objects, flinched at sudden noises, and vomited whenever he was stressed - which was most of the time. Man and dog were polar opposites and for them to live together, one of them would have to change. Their journey wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t always pretty but this award winning story will tug at your heartstrings. 10 % of the profits from this book are donated to animal rescue organizations.
