About this listen
The dog awoke, feeling more uncomfortable than usual—which was saying something, given that he was chained to a dilapidated box the size of a grocery cart.
The world seemed off, the neighborhood quiet, even the woods behind him hushed—like everything waited....
He shifted uneasily, sniffed the air.
What was that? He brought his head up and inhaled deeply.
He didn’t recognize it—and yet...and yet. Something about the odor nudged a memory from his mind, of a time when life held promise, when he’d fully embraced the naïve enthusiasm that came with puppyhood.
He tugged on the mental string, and the flashback overwhelmed him. He sagged onto the ground, assaulted by memories of his first home.
Based on true-life stories of rescue dogs.

Now he's on the verge of losing his home to the unruly puppy and, much to his surprise, his heart when he meets Dr. Chu, Sparkle's vet. Vivian Chu loves caring for her furry friends, so she can't fathom how anyone could think poorly of her new patient, especially his owner. To her, first impressions are everything, and the one Melvin left has her feeling disheartened and bruised - literally.

In 2015, her Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes.
