A former hard-driving attorney, Steven Wolf has reluctantly left his job and family and moved to Arizona for its warm winter climate. There he is drawn to a local group that rescues abused racing greyhounds. Although he can barely take care of himself because of a spinal condition, Wolf adopts Comet, an elegant cinnamon-striped racer. Or does Comet adopt Wolf? </p><p></p><p>In <i>Comet's Tale</i> we follow their funny and moving journey as Wolf teaches Comet to be a service dog. With her boundless enthusiasm and regal manners, Comet attracts new friends to Wolf's isolated world. And finally, she plays a crucial role in restoring his health, saving his marriage, and broadening his definition of success. <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A powerful tale about life, family, and personal healing that reminds us all that greyhounds are love!" --<strong>Christine A.
