This is a heartwarming and well written story about a Veterinarian and her family and the changes that they experience when they add a seventh （yes， SEVENTH） dog to their household。 That dog， is a rescue weighing only a pound and a half and is blind and deaf。 With the last of their three kids going off to college， Melissa Shapiro and her husband， Warren， first foster this little terrified critter and then adopt him。 This is the story of Piglet and his growth and development into an international This is a heartwarming and well written story about a Veterinarian and her family and the changes that they experience when they add a seventh （yes， SEVENTH） dog to their household。 That dog， is a rescue weighing only a pound and a half and is blind and deaf。 With the last of their three kids going off to college， Melissa Shapiro and her husband， Warren， first foster this little terrified critter and then adopt him。 This is the story of Piglet and his growth and development into an international ambassador/advocate demonstrating what disabled animals can accomplish and just how full a life they can lead with the right human partner。 Beyond Piglet's journey， it is also a memoir of love， passion and family。 The reader is treated to highlights of Melissa's childhood and her devotion to animals from an early age - they witness her journey to becoming a Vet and her first date with Warren。 The descriptions are vivid and filled with love and humor - I felt like I was becoming part of the family as the kids， birds and dogs moved through their day。 It also brought back happy memories of raising our three children and various animals in our - much more modest - manager。 I could almost hear the music practice and sounds of dogs playing and dinner cooking。 I was inspired to follow Piglet's page and will continue to explore the "Piglet Mindset。" Extremely engaging， inspiring and just plan fun to read。 。。。more

Won a copy in a Goodreads giveaway and from Atria books。Non-fiction is not my forte - but this read more like a story than a typical nonfiction book。Great story about resilience， family， and overcoming disabilities。Melissa originally saved the dog and fostered him。 But after a few months， they knew they would not be able to give him up。 Thanks to a social media account， soon the whole world was plugging for Piglet to not only survive， but to thrive。 One school， that is close to where I live， got Won a copy in a Goodreads giveaway and from Atria books。Non-fiction is not my forte - but this read more like a story than a typical nonfiction book。Great story about resilience， family， and overcoming disabilities。Melissa originally saved the dog and fostered him。 But after a few months， they knew they would not be able to give him up。 Thanks to a social media account， soon the whole world was plugging for Piglet to not only survive， but to thrive。 One school， that is close to where I live， got a surprise visit from Piglet after following his progress and writing him letters。 。。。more

This is such a darling book。 A lady vet gets a tiny， deaf， blind puppy and it needs fostering。 The dog came from a very bad situation so it was very anxious at first。 The little dog had a Facebook page and became a worldwide sensation。 This family did not expect to learn so much from a little dog。 They learned to have a postive mindset， the powere of love， empathy， and kindness。 This vet has used the dog's social platform to eduacate， advocate， and encourage others to adopt pets。 She has a non-p This is such a darling book。 A lady vet gets a tiny， deaf， blind puppy and it needs fostering。 The dog came from a very bad situation so it was very anxious at first。 The little dog had a Facebook page and became a worldwide sensation。 This family did not expect to learn so much from a little dog。 They learned to have a postive mindset， the powere of love， empathy， and kindness。 This vet has used the dog's social platform to eduacate， advocate， and encourage others to adopt pets。 She has a non-profit organization where people can download educational and she supports animal rights。 。。。more
