An experimental, life-saving treatment on a Border Collie puppy by a trail-blazing veterinarian not only saves Trixie’s life, but produces a dog with an amazing level of intelligence, capable of both surprising tricks and sensitive service to her mistress, Katherine, recovering from cancer. Katherine’s illness and slow recovery cause her to lose an offer to join a private veterinary practice, but the Riverview Animal Shelter is eager to have her services.

This is the fourth in this multi-book series, following UNDERSTANDING SASSIE and UNDERSTANDING SASSIE, II, and UNDERSTANDING CHAMP. Readers can enjoy each without having read the others. All four novels combine upbeat personal stories with insights about training dogs with love.
