One Good Dog by Susan Wilson is a heartwarming, redemptive tale about second chances and the unlikely bond between a broken man and a battered dog.
At the story’s heart is Adam March, a driven, high-powered executive whose carefully constructed world implodes after a public meltdown triggered by a message about his long-estranged sister. His fall from grace is swift and brutal — losing his job, his wife, and his status — leaving him adrift and bitter.
Enter Chance, a pit bull mix raised in brutal dog-fighting rings, whose resilience and spirit set him apart. After managing to escape captivity, Chance crosses paths with Adam, and what begins as a wary, unlikely companionship slowly becomes a lifeline for them both.
Told in alternating chapters from Adam’s and Chance’s points of view, the novel deftly explores themes of redemption, healing, and the unexpected ways lives can be rebuilt. It’s an emotionally charged, feel-good story about love, trust, and the powerful, silent wisdom animals often bring into our lives.
