Saying Goodbye to a Service Pup Is the Theme of Heartfelt New Novel, "Seven Days to Goodbye"
(PRWEB) February 05, 2016 -- "Seven Days to Goodbye" is all about loving a special service dog and knowing one day you must part.
After Trina’s beloved dog dies, she swears that she’ll never get another. Then she hears about service dogs, and learns that if she becomes a puppy raiser, she could train puppy after puppy and never worry about them dying.
But there is one catch: Eventually you do have to say goodbye. Her first service puppy, Sydney, must be returned to his kennel at the end of their week-long summer vacation. Saying goodbye to this special puppy is much tougher than she ever imagined.
Trina’s last week with Sydney is made even harder because of her newly strained relationship with her best friend, Sarah. Her friend has become so over-the-top boy crazy that she seems like a stranger. Sarah is determined that she and Trina must hang out with every boy at the beach. When a boy named Chase takes an interest in Trina and Sydney instead of Sarah, it puts an even bigger strain on their friendship.
It’s hard enough to deal with losing Sydney, but now Trina could also lose her best friend.
