Pawprints On Our Hearts: How A Few Incredible Dogs Changed One Life Forever, Hardcover

"Murray offers a moving examination of personal trauma and deep bonds with animals in this EXCEPTIONAL DEBUT... Animal lovers will feel connected to Murray's almost spiritual awakening and admire his devotion to following his heart, even in the face of tremendous sacrifice. This touching memoir OVERFLOWS WITH INTENSE EMOTION." - BookLife by Publishers Weekly

In warm, eloquent prose, Kerk Murray shares his dark moments as a teen and young adult while telling a beautiful story of love and forgiveness through his relationships with a few four-legged furry heroes. Giving Kerk a new purpose, their role in his redemption inspired him to founding The Lexi's Legacy Foundation, an animal advocacy 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which has provided care to over 500 abused animals and raised over $100,000 in donations and services for animal rescue organizations across the world.

As a tribute to those dogs in Kerk's life, 100% of the book's proceeds will be donated toward the nonprofit's mission to end animal suffering.

Pawprints On Our Hearts is a soul-stirring coming-of-age memoir unpacking the journey we experience alongside the animals we love-from forging the unbreakable bonds of friendship to relishing the nostalgia of time passed too quickly. Together scaling the mountaintops of love and courageously descending into the deepest sorrows of loss. Discovering the purpose of our lives as we pause to revel in those extraordinary moments-the ones that changed us forever, leaving behind who we were so that we could arrive at who we were meant to be.

You'll laugh and cry as you reminisce, connecting once more to the joys of loving and being loved by your animal companion. More importantly, you'll never be the same again.

How could you be?

Learning what it means to be human is the story of us all. But luckily, we have help along the way from these beautiful creatures who set the bar high and redefine what love ought to be.
