MWSA Review
Rescued by Andy L. Vistrand is a story of “man meets dog” when they both are down and out for the count. A perfect pairing results in the rescuing of souls, but who exactly rescued whom?
Anyone who has owned a dog knows that the unconditional love from a pet can soothe away the doldrums of a bad day. However, for a former combat veteran, a loyal pet can make the difference between choosing life versus death. Science can prove the physiological benefits of owning and caring for a pet. But science can’t measure the bond of love between a pet and its owner.
Rescued describes thirteen years and two days of companionship and unconditional love. It’s is a love story, and you can’t help but love Dozer—almost as much as Andy did. Rest in peace, Dozer.
