Book review: Grizz's Story by Jo Helms is the touching account of a courageous dog's battle with cancer. Yukon Jak, dubbed Grizz, begins his story in his own voice, as he introduces us to his human family and canine companions. But this very special Siberian husky is destined to walk a remarkable road of quiet courage and determination as he battles a cancer that takes a leg and finally his life. The human side of the battle is poignantly told by Grizz's owner, as she chronicles the decisions faced in battling this crushing disease with love, understanding and the best technological means available. Reading this impressive story is a privileged visit with a gallant dog and his indomitable and dedicated family. It is a stirring reminder to make the most of each day that we are given, the lesson dogs and especially Grizz show us so beautifully.................. ........Jean C. Keating author of Paw Prints Through The Years

The reason that I have written "Grizz's Story" is to help petowners who have come face-to-face with cancer with their beloved pets. It is unique because it is told through Grizz's eyes. It gives a different perspective. Our top priority was to give Grizz every possible chance of survival while at the same time preserving his "quality" of life. We accomplished that. Grizz truly "danced" during his life and taught us that though life may be fragile, love IS forever. This book is in his memory and in memory of ALL the brave dogs that are battling cancer and for those people who strive to find a cure. We will be donating any/all proceeds from the sale of his book to organizations whose top priority is the welfare of our furry friends and finding a cure for cancer. Please support your local animal organizations.
