THE DOG WHO SAVED ME

Book ID/图书代码: 06830015B78893

English Summary/英文概要: Cooper Harrison, a member of the Boston K-9 unit, never thought he would ever go back to his hometown, Harmony Farms. But when his faithful canine partner, Argos, is killed in the line of duty, Cooper finds himself mired in grief. Jobless, on the verge of a divorce, and in a self-destructive rut, Cooper has little choice but to accept an offer for the position of animal control officer in Harmony Farms.

And so he finds himself back where he started. Where his father, Bull, was once known as the town drunk. Where his brother, Jimmy, was a delinquent and bully. Where he grew up as "one of those" Harrisons. Forced to face the past while dealing with the present-including his brother’s continued involvement in the drug business-Cooper does his job with deliberate detachment, refusing to get emotionally invested in another dog the way he had with Argos. Until he finds himself trying to rescue a wounded and gun-shy yellow Lab gone feral...

Cooper never thought he’d find himself going back in order to move forward, yet Harmony Farms is the one place where Cooper must learn to forgive and, only then, to heal. All with the help of a yellow dog, who has a history-and secrets-that Cooper must uncover.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Cooper Harrison是波士顿K-9的成员,他从来没有想过自己还会回到家乡的和谐农场去。但是,当他忠实的狗Argos在执行任务中丧生时,Cooper发现自己陷入悲伤之中。当他处在失业、离婚边缘和自我毁灭的影响之下时,Cooper别无选择,只能接受前往和谐农场从事动物管控的工作。

于是他又回到了自己开始的地方。他的父亲Bull曾一度是镇上最出名的醉鬼。他的兄弟Jimmy从小是个惯犯,经常欺负人。他也是顶着“Harrison家的人”的恶名长大的。Cooper必须面对过去以及现实——他的兄弟还在从事毒品生意——这样的情况下,他不愿意对另一只狗投入自己对Argos那样的情感。但他仍旧很努力地想要救那条狗……

Cooper从没想过只有回去了,他才能真正地前进。但在和谐农场,他必须学会原谅和治愈自己。这一切都必须依靠一只黄狗的帮助,而Cooper必须帮助了解和揭开这只狗的历史和秘密。(LYR)
