On this special edition of Free for All Friday, our guest is Dave Burchett who is the author of the new book Stay: Lessons My Dogs Taught Me about Life, Loss and Grace.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be enthralled by this story of a man and his lovable Labrador retriever, Hannah, and what their canine friendship can show us about life, grace, and long walks in the park.<\/p>\n

Hannah was Dave\u2019s best friend. He couldn\u2019t imagine starting a day without her tail wagging an energetic greeting, her body wiggling with sheer gratitude when her food dish was filled, and her unbridled enthusiasm for tennis balls. (How she fit three tennis balls in her mouth at once he\u2019ll never know.)<\/p>\n

So when Dave first learned of Hannah\u2019s cancer diagnosis, he decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and furry) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. <\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to miss this heartwarming tale of a dog who knew how to live . . . and showed her owner how.<\/p>\n
