Overview

Helen has known more than her fair share of pain in her young life, and the scars visibly show. Self harming and bitter, she winds up in yet another childcare facility-just one more in a long list of placements. Determined to keep others at a distance, she resorts to biting insults and sullen silence and refuses all help from the staff and her therapist. No one seems capable of reaching her.


But there is one unlikely soul that might just break down her walls and show her that there is still hope for her broken heart. When Helen meets an abused German shepherd that comes to scrounge near the facility's property, she is inexplicably drawn to his pain. By reaching out to help "Wolf," she learns that recovery and healing might still be within her grasp.


Through sessions with her therapist, who recognizes good therapy sometimes comes in unique forms, Helen gradually comes to understand the reasons behind her behavior and how acknowledging her past is the only way to grow. And it all comes back to a good dog and the strength to let love in.
