COMET’S TALE: HOW THE DOG I RESCUED SAVES MY LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 00342512B53831
English Summary/英文概要： Forced into early retirement by a spinal condition, Steven Wolf reluctantly left his family and moved to Arizona for its warm winter climate. A lifelong dog lover, the former hard-driving attorney is drawn to a local group that rescues retired racing greyhounds. When Comet, a once-abused cinnamon-striped racer, chooses to “adopt” Wolf, he has no idea that a life-altering relationship has begun—for both of them. Racers, cruelly treated and exposed only to the track and cage, have no inkling of the most basic skills—walking on tile floors, climbing stairs, even playing with toys or children—so Wolf must show the mistrustful greyhound how to thrive in the real world. Gradually, a confident but mysterious spirit emerges from the stunning animal. And when Wolf’s health starts to worsen, the tables turn and Comet must now help Wolf with the most basic skills.
Wolf teaches her to be a service dog, and soon enough she’s hauling his wheelchair at top speed through airport terminals, towing his cart through the grocery store, helping him get out of bed, and attracting friends to Wolf’s isolated world. She plays a crucial role in restoring his health and even saving his marriage. Their unshakable faith in each other makes them winners once again
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Steven Wolf由于其脊柱情况被迫提前退休，他无奈地离开家人，搬到亚利桑那州，因为那里有温暖的冬季气候。他是一个终生爱狗人士,之前是一个精力充沛的律师，被当地的一个救援退休赛跑灰狗的组织所吸引。当彗星,一条曾经被虐待的肉桂色条纹比赛选手,选择“收养” Wolf的时候,他不知道一个改变生活的关系已经开始了。
赛车手,被残酷地对待，接触到的只有跑道和笼子,不涉及那些最基本的技能——走瓷砖地板,爬楼梯,甚至玩玩具或是与儿童玩耍——所以Wolf显示出了他对于灰狗如何在现实世界中茁壮成长的不信任。渐渐地,从这个惊人的动物的身体里散发出了自信而神秘的精神。当Wolf的健康开始恶化,责任转换过来了，彗星现在必须通过它的基本技能来帮助Wolf。
Wolf教她变成一只服务狗,不久之后，她就可以牵引他的轮椅全速通过机场,拖着他的车通过杂货店,帮他起床,并且吸引朋友来到Wolf孤独的世界。在恢复他的健康的过程中，她扮演着一个重要的角色,甚至挽救了他的婚姻。他们彼此之间不可动摇的信念使他们再次成为赢家。(LNL)
