    • Ein kleiner Hund mit großem Herz Bel Mooney ist lange Zeit eine glückliche Frau gewesen: Die bei einem breiten Publikum beliebte Journalistin und Moderatorin hat nicht nur beruflichen Erfolg, sondern führt auch eine Bilderbuch-Ehe. Doch dann kommt der Sturz – denn aus heiterem Himmel verlässt sie ihr Mann nach 35 Jahren Gemeinsamkeit. Die Medien stürzen sich auf den Scheidungskrieg, und Bel Mooney gerät in die tiefste Krise ihres Lebens. Doch sie hat einen treuen Begleiter – ihren Hund Bonnie, den sie aus dem Tierheim gerettet hatte. In ihrem Buch erzählt Bel Mooney auf anrührende Weise, wie Bonnies zauberhaftes Wesen und seine unerschütterliche Liebe ihr halfen, wieder neuen Lebensmut zu fassen – und ihr Herz schließlich sogar zu öffnen für einen neuen wundervollen Mann an ihrer Seite.
