Jesse - Diane Barker

This is a story about the healing and transforming power of love: in this case between a dog and a woman. It describes how Jesse helped Diane to overcome 'life changing injuries' from a near fatal car crash, and confound all medical expectations by becoming perfectly fit and well. It goes on to describe incidents in their lives against a backdrop of an eventful and sometimes turbulent eleven years, and concludes with Diane repaying Jesse's love and support by helping him fight an aggressive cancer and become a 'medical miracle'. It contains ideas on training Collies and reflections on how much humans could learn from dogs' loyalty, ability to live in the moment and willingness to forgive. It is a story which will appeal to anyone who loves dogs.
