Two months later, when the day arrived to say goodbye to the now dashing, six-pound pink dog with the larger-than-life spirit, Melissa faced a heart-wrenching decision. Melissa soon forged a powerful bond with Piglet, allowing the two to communicate without sound or visual cues. After weeks of reassurance, and lots of love, Piglet connected, gained confidence, and his extraordinary spirit emerged. The anxious and traumatized Piglet weighed under two pounds upon his welcome into the Shapiro household-which included Melissa’s husband Warren and their three college-aged kids, plus six other rescued dogs. When veterinarian Melissa Shapiro gets a call about a tiny deaf blind puppy rescued from a hoarding situation in need of fostering, she doesn’t hesitate to say, “yes.” Little does she know how that decision will transform her, her family, and legions of admirers destined to embrace the saga of the indomitable pink “puppy with a purpose” (Good Morning America). In the tradition of the beloved New York Times bestsellers Marley and Me and Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love, “a beautiful, inspiring” (Laura Schroff, New York Times bestselling author) memoir about empathy, resilience, kindness, and an adorable deaf blind pink dog.
