Life is not easy for twelve-year-old Diego Escobár.  It was wonderful raising Aloha from puppyhood to eighteen months, but now he must return her to the guide dog school for her formal training.  Diego always knew that Aloha was on loan to him, but letting her go is proving to be the hardest challenge of his young life. In this tender, inspirational tale, based on the true-life story of Aloha, Diego discovers that the sweet and sad in life are often interwoven.  The unconditional love and trust between Aloha and Diego will enable her to become the dog she was bred to be.  In giving her up, Diego gains unexpected rewards. “Wherever you go, you will walk with a piece of my heart beside you.”
