Lone Survivor meets Marley & Me in this "inspiring and very
moving" (Bear Grylls, host of the hit TV show Man vs. Wild) memoir of
an extraordinary service dog whose enduring love brought a wounded
soldier back to life.
A decade ago, special forces warrior Jason Morgan parachuted into the
Central American jungle on an antinarcotics raid. He'd served with the
famous Night Stalkers on countless such missions. This one was
different. Months later, he regained consciousness in a U.S. military
hospital with no memory of how he'd gotten there. The first words he
heard were from his surgeon telling him he would never walk again. The
determined soldier responded, "Sir, yes, I will."
After multiple surgeries, unbearable chronic pain, and numerous
setbacks, Morgan was finally making progress when his wife left him and
their three young sons. He was a single father confined to a wheelchair
and tortured by his pain. At this very dark, very low point, Morgan
found light: Napal, the black Labrador who would change his life
forever.
A Dog Called Hope is the incredible story of a service dog who brought
a devastated warrior back from the brink and taught him how to be a true
father. It is the story of Napal, who built bridges between his
wheelchair-bound battle buddy and the rest of able-bodied humankind. It
is the story of Jason, who found life's true meaning with the help of
his faithful companion. Humorous, intensely moving, and uplifting, Jason
and Napal's heartwarming tale will brighten any day and lift every
heart.
