Book Description
This was supposed to be Robin’s summer of fun before heading off to pursue her lifelong ambition of becoming a veterinarian at the prestigious Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Instead, she finds herself nursing a broken heart after her boyfriend of three years ends their relationship. As if things couldn’t get any worse, he’s now dating a cute summer hire at PetWorld, where they all work, and she has to watch them make googly eyes at each other every day. She doesn't want to go to work, she doesn't want to go to vet school, she doesn't even want to get out of bed. She just wants everything to be the way it was before. A handsome, if annoying, new arrival named Remington Picasso may be just what she needs to get out of her funk. Will Robin be able to enjoy her last summer in her hometown? And more importantly, will she manage to overcome her heartache to follow her dreams?

Book Description
In the tradition of the beloved New York Times bestsellers Marley and Me and Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love, a charming, inspirational memoir about empathy, resilience, kindness, and an adorable deaf blind pink dog. When Connecticut veterinarian Melissa Shapiro gets a call about a tiny deaf blind puppy rescued from a hoarding situation in need of fostering, she doesn’t hesitate to say, “yes.” Little does she know how that decision will transform her, her family, and legions of admirers destined to embrace the saga of the indomitable pink pup. One of the most anxious dogs Melissa had ever encountered, the traumatized Piglet weighed under two pounds upon his welcome into the Shapiro household—which included Melissa’s husband Warren and their three college-aged kids, plus six other rescued dogs. After weeks of reassurance, and lots of love, Piglet connected, gained confidence, and his extraordinary spirit emerged. Melissa soon forged a powerful bond with Piglet, allowing the two to communicate without sound or visual cues. Two months later, when the day arrived to say good-bye to the now dashing, six-pound pink boy dog with the larger than life spirit, Melissa faced a heart-wrenching decision. Could she hand him over to someone willing to give Piglet the full-time attention he required or could she adapt her schedule and her household to make a permanent place for him in her life and work? Of course, the answer was simple: love would find a way. Curious, engaged, and incredibly eager to learn, Piglet quickly became part of the family. What started out as a few simple Facebook posts of Piglet and his pack rapidly evolved into a global celebration of Piglet’s infectiously positive mindset. Piglet: The Unexpected Story of a Deaf, Blind, Pink Puppy and His Family fully illustrates this heartwarming story of one special little puppy with a purpose to teach the power of empathy, love, and kindness.
