Mr. Wilson Makes It Home: How One Little Dog Brought Us Hope, Happiness, and Closure

"A heartwarming story written with passion and love" about a small dog who needed a home, and the couple who adopted him—and needed him even more (Michael Corrente, award-winning film director and producer).

When their children went off on their own, Michael and Cheryl Morse slowly drifted apart in their empty nest. Added to Cheryl's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Michael's symptoms of PTSD, and the grief of losing their two beloved dogs—put down on the same day three years prior—it became apparent their lives were in need of a little joy.

Enter an energetic ball of white fluff known as Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Wilson's story begins in Arkansas, where he was left in a drafty barn—the result of a child who couldn't care for him and a woman who wouldn't. An escape artist, he eventually found a country road where he was discovered by a neighbor who took him in, cleaned him up, and created an online adoption profile for him. In Rhode Island, Cheryl Morse clicked on Mr. Wilson's photo and instantly fell in love.

When Mr. Wilson arrived in Rhode Island and met the Morses, he was affectionate and excited—but how long would it last? Would they be able to care for him and themselves? Had he finally found his forever home? And (gasp) what if they had cats?

In Mr. Wilson Makes It Home, the joy Michael and Cheryl so badly needed comes in the form of one adorable schnoodle. Full of love, recovery, faith, and hope, "anyone who has ever had a dog and who is an animal lover will love this book" (Ellie Laks, author of My Gentle Barn).
