About the book
A Tale of Betrayal, Redemption and Change
Gator, a pitbull mix, was adopted as a young pup by Gavin and his parents. This is the story of Gator's life - a life in which he is betrayed. But before the betrayal Gator's life is one in which he is loved greatly.
Before Gator was abandoned to the ravages of a Louisiana hurricane he and Gavin were the best of friends spending every free moment together. And they faced the prejudices of those who couldn't see to the heart of a person or a dog - looking only at appearances. Along the way Magnolia, a rescued puppy mill dog joins them and becomes the joy in Gator's life. But when a hurricane destroyed much of where they lived Gator and Magnolia were left behind, by order of the government authorities.
Seemingly abandoned Gator refuses to trust another human, until he needs the help of someone to save Magnolia. Bonded Gator's appearance and breed work against the chances that he and Magnolia have of ever getting adopted.

And I thought
I couldn't help but love Hurricane Dog. I rescued a dog from the
most recent Hurricane that devastated Houston, Texas.
It was easy for me to see the characteristics of dogs that are abandoned or lost.
Many people really never understand the devastation that people go through during and after a natural disaster. Much less what happens to animals.
Sunny Weber pens a lovely story about love and redemption.
I read a book many years ago about horses the title was
No Problem Horses on Problem People. This story brought back memories for me.
There are many animals that just need a second chance. A chance and love and family. A chance at redemption.
I loved this book and have added it to my list for Christmas suggestions.
It is a great read for children; for families. I would suggest it to a teacher as a group study.
I received a complimentary copy.
My review will appear on Amazon and Good Reads.
Hurricane Dog will be promoted on social media.
