BOOK DESCRIPTION

Heart on My Chest is the story of Isaiah - a well-spoken and much loved Portuguese Water Dog - and ''his human'' - a spiritual director contemplatively making her way through life.

Isaiah is an above-average ''Portie'' who suspects that everything in the world just might revolve around him - if only anyone would ask. His insights into his owner's ups and downs are oftentimes as poignant as they are comical while they struggle to understand each other and the world they share.
And always at the center of Isaiah's story is the love he has for his human companion. He watches over her as she struggles with finding her way after a divorce, and coaxes her back into life. The caring relationship they share is filled with mutual love and understanding - and even the occasional treats.

If you've ever had a dog you'll love this story of Isaiah and his human. They are an inseparable pair, whose lives are as tightly twined together as the curly black hair surrounding the white heart on Isaiah's chest.
