A former hard-driving attorney, Steven Wolf has reluctantly left his job and family and moved to Arizona for its warm winter climate. There he is drawn to a local group that rescues abused racing greyhounds. Although he can barely take care of himself because of a spinal condition, Wolf adopts Comet, an elegant cinnamon-striped racer. Or does Comet adopt Wolf? In Comet's Tale we follow their funny and moving journey as Wolf teaches Comet to be a service dog. With her boundless enthusiasm and regal manners, Comet attracts new friends to Wolf's isolated world. And finally, she plays a crucial role in restoring his health, saving his marriage, and broadening his definition of success. Steven D. Wolf is an active participant in greyhound advocacy. He divides his time between Omaha, Nebraska, and Sedona, Arizona. Lynette Padwa, the author of numerous books, including Everything You Pretend to Know and Are Afraid Someone Will Ask, has collaborated on many more. She lives in Los Angeles. "A powerful tale about life, family, and personal healing that reminds us all that greyhounds are love!" -Christine A. Dorchak, president of GREY2K USA Hudson News Best Books of 2012 Shelf Awareness Nonfiction Top Ten Best of 2012 "Everything you want a memoir to be: wise, moving, honest, and true. I loved it, and so will you." -Louis Bayard, author of The Pale Blue Eye "The close bond between man and dog is only part of this absorbing tale of love, family and dealing with disability . . . A heartwarming story that will hold appeal far beyond just animal lovers." -Kirkus Reviews "Told with abundant humor, humility, and a writing style as graceful as a greyhound, Comet's Tale abounds with revelations of the way life surprises us. I loved this book!" -Anne Hillerman, author of Tony Hillerman's Landscape "The story of Steven Wolf and his rescuer, Comet, is one of the best I know. I'm glad Comet saved Wolf's life so he could write this marvelous book." -Craig Johnson, author of the Longmire series "Both honest and heartwarming, and a wonderful salute to the power of man's best friend." -Booklist [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15956960 [pa] => [subtitle] => How the Dog I Rescued Saved My Life [publisher] => Algonquin Books [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
