Amazing (furry) lessons from a dog’s life

You’ll be enthralled by this story of a man and his lovable Labrador retriever, Hannah, and what their canine friendship can show us about life, grace, and long walks in the park.

Hannah was Dave Burchett’s best friend. He couldn’t imagine starting a day without her tail wagging an energetic greeting, her body wiggling with sheer gratitude when her food dish was filled, and her unbridled enthusiasm for tennis balls. (How she fit three tennis balls in her mouth at once, he’ll never know.)

So when he first learned of Hannah’s cancer diagnosis, Dave decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and loving) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. The lessons were invaluable: from being presentto trusting the master. Dave started to see that the insights he was gaining were more than just journal entries about a family pet. Through Hannah’s antics, God was preparing Dave for life itself.

Dave Burchett has been a successful television sports director for more than thirty years. His experiences have included the Olympic Games, as well as professional and collegiate sports. He is the author of When Bad Christians Happen to Good People and Bring ’Em Back Alive. Dave has developed a speaking ministry and writes a popular blog at Crosswalk.com, as well as his own blog, Confessions of a Bad Christian. Dave is married and is the father of three grown sons, the grandfather of three grandchildren, and the owner of another rescued Labrador retriever.
