as Eric meets Peety and their journey together saves both of their lives
and creates a lifelong bond (Booklist).
Eric was 150 pounds overweight, depressed, and sick. After a lifetime of
failed diet attempts, and the onset of type 2 diabetes due to his
weight, Eric went to a new doctor, who surprisingly prescribed a shelter
dog. And that's when Eric met Peety: an overweight, middle-aged, and
forgotten dog who, like Eric, had seen better days. The two adopted each
other and began an incredible journey together, forming a bond of
unconditional love that forever changed their lives. Over the next year,
just by going on walks, playing together, and eating plant-based foods,
Eric lost 150 pounds, and Peety lost 25. As a result, Eric reversed his
diabetes, got off all medication, and became happy and healthy for the
first time in his life-eventually reconnecting with and marrying his
high school sweetheart.
Walking With Peety is for anyone who is ready to make a change in his
or her life, and for everyone who knows the joy, love, and hope that
dogs can bring. This is more than a tale of mutual rescue. This is an
epic story of friendship and strength.
