A Boxer does not simply exist within a home or a family; it becomes part of the atmosphere, part of the rhythm of daily life. There is energy, warmth, and a quiet sense of watchfulness that defines the breed from the very first encounter. For many people, the Boxer represents a perfect balance of qualities that are rarely found together in such harmony. Strength without aggression.

Betsy Vereckey was thirty-seven and newly divorced when she rerouted her life from New York City to a tiny town in New Hampshire that she knew virtually nothing about, except that it was her dog's hometown. She was leaving behind a marriage that had ended, a soulless marketing job, and a Brooklyn apartment overrun with mice.
