review: Editorial Reviews Review "If you're experiencing the shock and devastation of losing your canine soul mate ... Roxanne Hawn's words in Heart Dog can be that long-distance friend that you need." -- Jackie Bouchard, USA Today bestselling author of Rescue Me, Maybe * "Roxanne Hawn has the rare gift of melding emotion and logic in good writing ... Never preachy, never judgmental, this book offers the reader tools and the space to deal with the emptiness of losing a best friend." -- Leland Dirks, author of Seven Dogs in Heaven From the Author I began blogging about my Heart Dog / canine soul mate, Lilly, in April 2007. A real-time memoir, the blog -- called Champion of My Heart -- chronicled life with a brilliant, sensitive dog. Then, things became complicated following Lilly's rare adverse rabies vaccine reaction. The fight for Lilly's life lasted 693 days. Lilly died December 17, 2013. *This book stems from that experience. My recovery from the profound loss remains ongoing.*If you are purchasing this book for yourself, I am very sorry for your loss. Even without knowing you or the cause of your dog's passing, I can assure you that you are not alone. Many of us have walked the same road. We've survived the loss. You can too. *If you're giving this book as a gift, I applaud you for recognizing this profound loss in someone else's life. Not everyone gets it, and that lack of empathy compounds the grief people feel. I'm thankful that you understand, and I'm sure the book's recipient will appreciate and remember your kindness.
