Ms. Solomon is pictured reading while her beloved rescue pup, Gracie, intently follows along. For fourteen years, Gracie was her constant companion, walking buddy and official greeter at the front door. She brought love, laughter and light into the house and was the reason a good number of families became happy rescue dog owners themselves.
