title: This Sheriff Wags His Tail
author: Aiello, William
description: Dean is dispirited, unemployed, and feels his life has no direction. Lacking ambition, depending upon others, he realizes he must take charge of his life. Then a lost Labrador retriever comes into his life. Trying to find both work and the puppy's owner, Dean juggles both tasks at once. While doing so, he finds part-time work, and the dog's owner. Katie helps him find not just full time, work, but a sense of value and the love that was absent from his life. All made possible by a lost dog who brought both of them together.
