Rescue, Save, Love, Repeat!

Meet Weaver, the irresistibly charming Labernard puppy with an oversized fluffy tail and a heart full of mischief. Abandoned on a chilly December night, he finds himself wrapped in the warmth of a kind-hearted family who adopts him.

Weaver knows he’s not just a pet; he feels it’s his duty to rescue his new family. But navigating the house rules is a hard enough task for a puppy. Everything changes when Mr. Opa, the twin’s grandfather who is battling Alzheimer’s, moves in. Determined to help, Weaver takes it upon himself to teach Mr. Opa the household rules while ensuring he feels loved and cared for.

As their bond deepens amidst laughter and confusion, Weaver’s well-intentioned plans tend to lead to unexpected chaos. Will Weaver’s playful antics ultimately win over his family, or will his struggles to help Mr. Opa land him back on that lonely bench?

Join this delightful puppy as he makes his way through his first year and learns what being in a family is all about.

Real life problem solving

The story of how Weaver came to the Hendrix family is sad and intriguing at the same time. Weaver is learning to be a good puppy and a companion to Mr. Opa, who has Alzheimer’s. Weaver’s thoughts about humans and their words are very fun to hear and to watch how he responds to the family, especially Mr. Opa. Weaver becomes a very important part of the family. The author connected Weaver and Mr. Opa’s experiences together for real life problems.

Cute, adorable, full of love and laughter

The cover was so cute and adorable – it fit the book very well. The book has lots of funny moments full of charm when Weaver tries to help, but mostly goes into full
Chaos; but his heart is full of love. Overall the book is cute, adorable, full of love and laughter. For me it felt like the book itself taught about love and family. I really enjoyed this book.

A Feel-Good book if ever there was one! A light-hearted story of trying to fit in and to fulfill your reason for being. Weaver finds love and acceptance with a forever family. And finds a purpose for his life in helping the family’s grandpa with his Alzheimer’s.

Truly enjoyable

DD Sterner captures the chaos, fun, love and laughter of Weaver’s first year. Written from Weaver’s point of view, which adds charm and humor. Weaver learns how to help Mr. Opa, who is living with Alzheimer’s, by giving him the love and attention he needs. Their relationship is touching. I truly enjoyed reading this book and appreciated it’s heartfelt message.

So Happy I got to meet Weaver!

This book is so moving and fun to read. And it is emotional and you can also have some relation to this book. Weaver might have had a tough beginning. But this boy right here became the ultimate fighter. This is a man’s best friend right here! I am so happy I got to meet Weaver!
