The SPIRIT DOGS

By Gino Roussel

" IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE SOPHISTACTED ELECTRONIC GADGETS SEEM TO RULE THE WORLD, THEY HAVE YET TO INVENT A COMPUTER THAT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE HUMAN BRAIN. WHEN FACED WITH WHATEVER PROBLEM IT HAS TO RESOLVE, IT HAS THE CAPABILITY OF THINKING FOR ITSELF AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ALLOW IT TO WANDER TO ITS PLAYFUL CREATIVE SIDE, A BOLD NEW UNIVERS CAN APPEAR RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. WHEN ONE IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO VENTURE DOWN THIS ROAD TO FANTASY LAND, ONE MIGHT JUST FIND A WAY TO FORGET THE PAIN AND SUFFERING." Living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not like having a broken arm. Rather it's like having that arm amputated. You have to learn to live with these limitations. The "SPIRIT DOGS" is a collection of short and not so short stories about a PTSD plagued ex-soldier who, out of guilt and regrets, rescues over time, a bunch of unwanted sled dogs and together they go on a journey of a life time. Some funny, some atrocious, these stunning adventures have three main focal points within them. First, they have educational values as to where it applies to the sled-dog racing world. Secondly, they bring to the forefront true historical facts about the Bosnian and Afghanistan wars. And most importantly, this collection of short stories does guide the reader towards something truly amazing! This is the fact that a person afflicted with the PTSD syndrome, can actually come out of that long dark tunnel and function quite well in the "Land of the Living".Reading this book will not only leave you with a smile on your face, it will leave you with the question as to "Who rescued who?"
