But perhaps Boo&’s greatest miracle is the way he transformed Lisa Edwards&’s life, giving her the best gift of all: faith in herself.This is the inspiring true story of how one woman and one dog rescued each other, a moving tribute to hope, resilience and the transformative power of unconditional love.
