Samenvatting

"We aren"t just service dog and master; Tuesday and I are also best friends. Kindred souls. Brothers. Whatever you want to call it. We weren"t made for each other, but we turned out to be exactly what the other needed." A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis MontalvÁn never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, the pressures of his physical wounds, traumatic brain injury, and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. Haunted by the war and in constant physical pain, he soon found himself unable to climb a simple flight of stairs or face a bus ride to the VA hospital. He drank; he argued; ultimately, he cut himself off from those he loved. Alienated and alone, unable to sleep or bend over without pain, he began to wonder if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a beautiful and sensitive golden retriever trained to assist the disabled. Tuesday had lived amongst prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, blessing many lives; he could turn on lights, open doors, and sense the onset of anxiety and flashbacks. But because of

    Tuesday and Luis crawl under your skin.
    I'm Dutch and live in The Netherlands so I hope my English is well enough to give a review. This is a book that will become (be) a bestseller all over the world. Maybe you only will read this book because you saw the gorgeous picture of Tuesday but whatever the reason is, it will change your life forever. Tuesday and Luis crawl under your skin and won't let go. Hope to see this book translated in as many languages as possible. So people who don't read English will understand what I mean by reading this book. Love it ! This is a book that is a gift you will share and you need to share as a gift. This book already hit the NY Times bestseller list and just came out in the beginning of may. I'm sure it will become a movie as well. But the book is here to order.

  • A shining light in a world with so much sadness

    I don't often read these kinds of books but something about this story drew me in after reading about Luis Carlos Montalvan and his service dog Tuesday in the news. This book has it all. There's the drama of Luis' experiences in Iraq and the political insights about what was really going on over there. But the crux of the book is of course an incredibly inspiring and heart-warming story of a man's struggle against his illness of post-traumatic stress disorder and the amazing role that the love and devotion of Tuesday played in saving this man's life. You will laugh, you will cry from both joy and sadness, you will feel uplifted and inspired and you will learn an incredible amount about service dogs, about the silent disease that PTSD is and about the heights of courage and love that we humans (and our best friend the dog) can be capable of.
