The Canine in All of Us

About the Book

Donald Freeman, a single man from a small New England town, was tired of the cold hard winters and relocated to a warmer climate in the Sunshine State. There he secured a good job and befriended a Border collie that he had found loose on the interstate and named “Freeway”. His life was good until the unexpected happened. He lost his job, and then from there things went downhill. His temper would cost him to lose “Freeway” and land himself in jail sentenced to community service at the county Humane Society. There he would turn his life around by helping out man’s best friends find good homes and bring companionship to others in many shapes and forms. Donald was determined to make it up to “Freeway” some way or another hoping that they would cross paths again and to make up for the lost time between them for what he had done to him. Then Lady Luck changed everything! Donald’s new found main priority was to make his dreams come true by helping Canines in need of loving homes. With the help of his assistant Miss Kitty, and Officer Mario, who worked part time at the Dixie Arms, a shelter for the homeless run by LaVonda, a real southern bell from Georgia who is loveable and wild as hell with a past that would come back to haunt her, Unbeknownst to everyone, a contamination from the water in the everglades would change everything. As you’ll see in this page turning story there is a little bit of Canine in all of us!
