About this listen

Surely Goodness and Mercy is a deeply personal memoir of love, loss, and the extraordinary healing power of animals. When Julie Dykes welcomed Johnny—a joyful, rough-and-tumble pup—into her life, she couldn’t have predicted how one dog would turn her world upside down. Then came Mercy, a gentle, soulful rescue with a past full of pain and a spirit that defied it. Together, these two dogs became more than pets: they were companions, teachers, and family.

Set against the backdrop of southern Georgia, this heartfelt story traces the years Julie spent with Johnny and Mercy through life's wildest storms and quietest joys. From the chaos of daily walks to the stillness of shared grief, from backyard adventures to devastating goodbyes, Julie shares moments that are raw, funny, and unforgettable.

Whether you’ve loved and lost a dog or are still lucky enough to have one curled at your feet, Surely Goodness and Mercy is a celebration of the bond between human and animal—the kind that changes you forever.

For anyone who has ever been saved by a dog, this book is for you.
