A Reason to Smile

By Jason Phinney


​​Devastated by the loss of his mother and embittered by a fractious relationship with his father, Jason wasn’t willing to let anyone get close. But when a pair of fun-loving, destructive dogs upend his cluttered life, they unwittingly become the catalyst for marriage. With his devoted wife and rambunctious canines by his side, Jason hopes to leave the past behind. Yet as life together grows complicated, conflicts spiral out of control, ravaging the once-perfect relationship. And when his best friend dies, all hope seems lost.
Jason’s redemption comes in the form of a band of discarded, misfit dogs who find refuge in his home. He gives them freedom, allowing them to explore and play in the outdoors, and they in turn give him love and a sense of purpose. The heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking canine experiences Jason vividly captures serve as backdrop for his journey from pain to forgiveness and his struggle to find faith in both himself and something larger.
A Reason to Smile will touch the hearts of readers as Jason’s canine companions prove healing sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.
