The Adventures of Cain and Frankie - The Husky Brothers - The Beginning (Paperback)

The Adventures of Cain and Frankie tells the true story of two Siberian huskies that were brought into author Jodi Ekberg's life to help her through cancer treatments and the subsequent surgeries and broken bones. Says the author, "I had become weak and depressed while I was going through cancer treatments and had finally given up fighting. I thought that my days were numbered. My husband Bruce saw how depressed and sick I was getting. So when I said I wanted a husky puppy, he found Cain, hoping that somehow the puppy could help me. Bruce trained him while I watched. The more Cain learned how to do things, the more I wanted to be a part of it, so I started to go to other doctors to see if they could help me. "Bruce noticed that when I was with Cain I was not depressed and seemed to be getting better each day. Cain was treated like one of our children, as our kids are grown up. Cain went everywhere we went, and did everything we did, including eating what we ate and sleeping in our bed. "Bruce and I had discussed the possibility of getting another husky so Cain would not be alone. We felt that if one husky could help me to heal, than two may help me heal twice as fast."
