Some stories are not planned—they are entrusted.
This book was born out of love, loss, and an unexpected exchange of care. When illness made it impossible for us to continue caring for our beloved Airedale terrier, Jedi, AKA Jedidiah Manning, Brandy Po***ck and her husband, Vince, opened their home to him during a season when he himself was injured and vulnerable. What began as an act of compassion soon became something far deeper than any of us could have imagined.
Not long after Jedi was adopted, tragedy struck. Brandy’s husband became ill and eventually passed away, leaving behind grief that words could not carry. In the midst of that season, comfort arrived on four legs. Echo, one of the dogs Brandy adopted to be a companion for her husband, became a steady presence—offering love, unspoken understanding, and a kind of healing that only animals seem to know how to give.
Echo’s journey did not end there. Through love, training, and a calling that emerged from sorrow, Echo became a certified therapy dog, now visiting nursing homes and bringing comfort to others walking through their own seasons of loneliness, illness, and grief.
Written by Brandy Po***ck, this book is a testament to the unseen threads that connect lives—human and animal alike. It is about letting go, receiving grace, and discovering that even in our weakest moments, something meaningful can still be born.
This story will be coming soon. Here is a sneak peak:
