Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart is a heartwarming story based on the real lives of a prisoner and a rescue dog who both feel extremely sad and trapped in their own personal cages. When they work together in Pups on Parole, a program for dog training in prisons, they each find their second chance. Ben and Gabbi go from cell mates to soul mates as they show us how honest work, an effort to learn, and a deep love can outshine any past "mistakes."

"Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart teaches the importance of learning to love and forgive ourselves. Knowing our value and having another person see it is often the first step to finding true companionship and happiness."

-Anne Studebaker Garlow, Family PLUS director, Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, Reno, NV

"This is a story for and of the heart. Every living being wants safety, to be seen, loved, and treated with respect."
