Now They Call Me Jack Christopher Widuch

Every puppy hopes for a loving family and a loyal master, but not all dogs are so lucky. Some dogs are destined to come from the wrong side of the tracks, regardless of how they started out. Jack was such a dog. He was placed into a dysfunctional family dominated by an abusive teenager. Jack remained locked in his fenceless prison for more than half his life until his master decided he was no longer wanted. Abandoned on an isolated island, Jack figured out how to survive. He created a new life for himself-a life far different from what he had hoped for. Jack endured hunger, thirst, heat, rain, mosquitoes, and the wrath of other animals. When he became the victim of a vicious attack, he struggled for every breath, hoping to be saved before it was too late. Rescued by strangers, Jack gets a second chance. He finds his way to a forever home, to a family struggling with grief at the loss of their beloved dog. Technically, Jack is a rescue dog, but in truth, he provides a lifeline to his adopted family as much as they pulled him out of his own dire circumstances. Jack's life is a story of survival and triumph, of new beginnings and redemption. Now They Call Me Jack is a tenderly written novel inspired on true events. Jack tells his own story with poignant truthfulness and good humor.
