Gdy tracisz najlepszego przyjaciela... świat nagle się zmienia. Utrata ukochanego zwierzęcia to jeden z najboleśniejszych momentów w życiu opiekuna. W tej poruszającej i szczerej książce autorka dzieli się własną historią po stracie Herbiego oraz doświadczeniami innych osób, które musiały pożegnać swoich przyjaciół. To nie jest poradnik napisany przez zdystansowanego teoretyka - lecz przez kogoś, kto naprawdę przeszedł przez żałobę i rozumie, jak głęboka potrafi być więź między człowiekiem a psem. Znajdziesz tu ciepłe słowa, prawdziwe historie i delikatne wskazówki, które pomogą ci przejść przez trudny czas po stracie. Książka przypomina, że każdy przeżywa żałobę inaczej, a z czasem można nauczyć się żyć z bólem, pielęgnując piękne wspomnienia. Ta książka uświadomi Ci, że masz prawo do bólu, smutku i przeżywania żałoby. To nigdy nie jest "tylko zwierzę".

W gabinecie szefa sztabu Sił Powietrznych USA w brutalny sposób zostaje zamordowany czterogwiazdowy generał. Do wyjaśnienia tej sprawy oddelegowany zostaje podpułkownik Jensen z wydziału dochodzeniowego Sił Powietrznych. Z gabinetu generała morderca zabrał wszystkie dyskietki komputerowe oraz twardy dysk. Wszystko wskazywało też na to, że przed śmiercią ofiara poddana została torturom, stosowanym przez... północnych Wietnamczyków podczas konfliktu w Indochinach...
