This heartwarming memoir told from the perspective of a special shelter dog, Ella, offers 40 insightful lessons on overcoming challenges, being your authentic self, and pursuing your passions.

In their 15 years together, Ella and Carrie face everything from dating mishaps to health scares, starting a business, and moving to the mountains. Through it all, Ella's zest for life, unwavering loyalty, and determination in the face of her own challenges with degenerative myelopathy teach valuable lessons about resilience, finding joy, and the profound impact a dog can have on our lives.

Pawsitive Perspectives is a love story, a manual for living life to the fullest, and an example of the transformative human-animal bond.
