Dogs touch us in ways we cannot explain. The invisible beyond the visible within each of us. Through Giv's journey through life we experience goodness and evil, sorrow and tragedy, even triumph. The will to survive and the determination to overcome all that life throws our way to hold us back.
Giv's journey through life is an unusual and difficult journey. Giv is our window to the soul of this nation as we follow him from state to state and person to person. We are introduced to the people that Giv's life has touched. There is something special about Giv that brings up deep reservoirs of lose that passages of time can not resolve.

Giv is found on a back road in Kentucky by Dean Hickok, sergeant, late of the U.S. Marines - war tested and wary, the victim of hardened years at the tender young age of three. Dean determines to reunite Giv with his owner in New Orleans post Katrina. Thus begins the journey into Giv's life... Giv: The Story of a Dog and America is a well-written, moving and touching story.
Giv will live on in your heart long after you've turned the last page.
