  It’s Christmas Eve in western Kansas and a snowstorm is gaining

    strength as Bear Bailey, a devoted Great Pyrenees, tries to comfort his

    beloved owner Mary. She’s in hot water with the local business

    villain, and Bear’s earlier altercation with this miser only seemed to

    make things worse. When Mary blurts out that she wishes for a different

    life, Bear blames himself for her despair and runs away.

  Meanwhile Jiff, a Labrador patiently waiting for his own human to meet him

    at the Rainbow Bridge, sees Bear shivering alone in the blizzard. Knowing

    Bear won’t survive the night without intervention, Jiff agrees to act

    as Bear’s guardian angel on Earth. He is determined to show the Great

    Pyrenees what the lives of the humans around him would have been like

    without his presence over the years.

  A holiday “tail” for those who love the season but feel the

    deep loss of loved ones (both furry and human), It’s a Wonderful Dog

    shines a light on the power of love and community, and reminds us that

    miracles do exist.

  About the Author

Keri Salas grew up a small town girl with a sense of grand adventure. After

    marrying her childhood sweetheart and starting their first business on a

    shoestring budget, she went on to spend the last two decades as a life coach

    helping others reach their dreams.

  The greatest joys in her life are exploring London, snuggling with her dogs

    (past, present, and future), and spending time with her husband David.

    Though not necessarily in that order. She believes that people will knock

    your socks off with their kindness, and life is filled with miracles and

    serendipitous events to rival any great fictional book.
