Veterinarian Anna Dunlop likes human beings. She truly does.That said, the superior intelligence and opposable thumbs allowing Homo Sapiens to create an Animal Kingdom Org Chart, does not, in her opinion, earn them a place at the tippy-top of it. Other creatures possess qualities she values far more highly. In loyalty, acceptance, and perpetual forgiveness, for instance, dogs run circles around humans. And for that matter, they're faster runners.But this non-hierarchical view of the world makes Anna an oddball among most other humans in Milk River, Wisconsin.Slogging through her annual depression over her husband's untimely death, she is thrust into the most life-altering emergency of her career. She saves a litter of traumatized puppies, later adopting them out on condition that their human guardians gather monthly on her radio call-in show. Live on-air, she helps this disparate group of strangers work through their most intimate problems--while avoiding her own.In the end, the most despicable man she knows will force her to face her grief.
