Default Just Gus: A Rescued Dog and the Woman He Loved

Gus was a lucky dog. Injured and abandoned, he could have become another of the 7 million animals euthanized every year. Then Stephanie Williams entered the picture. A successful journalist, she had been diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer at the age of 30. On medical leave and living alone, she wanted a warm four-legged companion. When she saw Gus's soulful eyes and goofy grin, it was love at first sight: she would rescue him, and he would return the favor. Just Gus is about how much one dog did to make a dying woman happy — giving tireless love, comfort, and support. This extraordinary story shows how one dog brought joy and hope to a woman's last days.
Customer Review: More pictures than words
Well, I bought this book because of the title and subject matter. It really isn't a reading book but more of beautiful pictures of Gus and his owner. A sad tale but you really never get much of a story. I thought it would have more hints and tales about Gus--in depth. But you only get the fringe and just by looking at the pictures they tell a story (a girl that is dying and her dog that helps her through and then he finds a new home) without words. So, I flipped through in half an hour and now the book is on the coffee table.
Customer Review: heartwarming,a must read for dog lovers!!
An excellent book, tugs at the heartstrings,wonderful photography,a must have!!
