Dakota is rescued from a dismal dog shelter by the warm and kind Emma, a woman who nurses him back to health. Emma finds a good home for the dog with Sweetie. Sweetie has a childhood cancer and has lost all of her hair. She and Dakota are both in rough shape but, thanks to Emma who brings them together, they help each other heal. Wonderful heart-warming story and a great way to talk about the rights of animals and our responsibility to help them when we can.
