This is the first step on their second chance journey. This book chronicles Skeeter and Mikey's struggle as they make the transformation from special needs dogs to family pets with the help of their community of humans and an elderly mentor guide dog named Sister Mary Sunshine. It highlights how for dogs with a difficult past, it is not as simple as walking away and transforming into a perfect, trusting, obedient companion. A dog's love may be unconditional, but a dog's respect and trust are earned. Skeeter and Mikey's story is a powerful example of the truth that, however challenging it may be, the journey can be made and it can be rewarding for the people and the dogs.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold from the dogs' point of view, the book examines being young and vulnerable, conquering past traumatic stresses, trying to cope in a brand new place, surrounded by strangers who have unknown rules and expectations.
