Beautiful Lightning

Beautiful Lightning is not just another heartwarming tale of the magical connection between mans best friend and people. It is a unique true story where the author gratefully puts together the pieces of a puzzle he gathers throughout his journey that he and his family took with their rescued dog Bella whose breed faces a lot of prejudice and presented challenges for his entire family from the first day they adopted her. However Bella became part of the family too. Because their bond was so strong they decided to do whatever it took to make things work out. Although when things finally started heading in the right direction the family received extremely bad news that sent them into a tail spin and the events that happened next left them devastated. As soon as the author gets the most important puzzle piece and begins connecting the pieces together he realizes that all of them have been left behind for him intentionally and with a purpose.
