The only problem? His girlfriend was still in love with a real dog. No, really-a seventy-pound pitbull mix.\u003c\/b\u003e And after having been...well, nearly emasculated by a dog that bit him high on the thigh when he was a young boy, Nestor had developed a paralyzing phobia of our four-legged friends. Soon he was faced with a dilemma...could he learn to love the creatures that had aroused in him such terror, or would he lose the love of his life on account of her pet? (To say nothing of all the other little challenges that loom large in life--a hand-me-down-mattress with poky springs, nosy neighbors with belligerent blogs, pesky police, and an evil cat.) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRescued Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a lively little memoir from one of Chicago's greatest live storytellers. It's a true and touching story about finding the courage to love after you've been hurt--literally and figuratively!
