Teresa Rhyne vowed to get things right this time around new boyfriend, new house, new dog, maybe even new job. But shortly after she adopted Seamus, a totally incorrigible beagle, vets told Teresa that he had a malignant tumor and less than a year to live. The diagnosis devastated her, but she decided to fight it, learning everything she could about the best treatment for Seamus. Teresa couldn't possibly have known then that she was preparing herself for life's next hurdle - a cancer diagnosis of her own. She forged ahead with survival, battling a deadly disease, fighting for doctors she needed, and baring her heart for a seemingly star-crossed relationship. The Dog Lived (and so Will I) is an uplifting and heartwarming story about how dogs steal our hearts, show us how to live, and teach us how to love.
The Dog Lived And So Will I (Audible Audio Edition) Teresa Rhyne Mia Barron Recorded Books Books
In this memoir, lawyer Teresa Rhyne, recently divorced, finds herself wanting to live a simpler life. One she calls her alphabet life: A for Alcohol (Wine), B for Books, C for Coffee, and D for Dogs. Notice there is no M for Men, because she thinks a time-out would be a good thing in her life right now. But sometimes life has a different plan for you than the one you were busy planning. Enter Chris, 12 years younger, who,like Teresa, enjoys wine and books, but less so coffee or dogs. Enter incorrigible beagle named Seamus, who steals Teresa's heart with his incessent howl and big, brown eyes. Now place Teresa, Chris, and Seamus in the same room, add food, and see what hilarity unfolds. Add canine cancer, and see the determination of a beagle that will later guide Teresa through her own battle with breast cancer. Add family conflict, at times disapproving, and rejoice as acceptance and understanding is found. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at times emotional, and all the time heartwarming, The Dog Lived (and so will I) is the happier side of Marley and Me. The title gives away the ending, but it won't stop you from wanting to journey along with Teresa, Chris, and Seamus as they navigate through the landscape of cancer and delicate relationships to form a new family of three. At the essence, it reminds us of how dogs frequently rescue us more than we rescue them. Highly recommended for memoir readers, dog lovers, and anyone who loves a story of overcoming adversity and succeeding.Product details

The Dog Lived And So Will I (Audible Audio Edition) Teresa Rhyne Mia Barron Recorded Books Books Reviews
This book is amazing! Anyone who had to deal with cancer, lost someone to cancer, or is fighting cancer should read this book. You also should read this book if you are a dog lover! So glad this author is completely candid. She does not hold back and for that I am grateful because she is going to help others laugh, cry and give some who feel like they have no hope that extra nudge to keep on keeping on. Teresa Rhyne ROCKS!! Oh, and of course the beagle in the book, Seamus, ya he is FAMOUS!
I bought this book because I love dogs and was happy to see before I even read the book that the dog lived. I'm not against the normal memoir where the dog dies in the end and I cry, but sometimes you're just in the mood for something a bit more uplifting, so I decided to give this book a read.
The book is very clearly divided into 2 parts. The first part is about the beagle and his fight with cancer. The second part is about Theresa and her battle with breast cancer.
I will say right off the bat that this book isn't going to be for everyone. It does have some strong language and Theresa ends up living with her boyfriend and they never get married. None of this is a problem for me, but it is something to take into consideration if you have a problem with those things.
This book struck a chord for me because my beloved cat died after a 3 year battle with his own cancer. The type he had made him not a candidate for chemo, besides which we would not have been able to afford the cost of the treatments anyway. I have read many reviews with people that are bitter about the money she spend on Seamus' treatments, which is unfair. It's her money!
As far as the book goes, I give it a 4 star rating because as much as I liked it I thought that it could have used a bit more editing and there was quite a bit of excess that could have been trimmed out and it would have made the book flow better. At times it just seemed a little too wordy.
That being said, I thought it was a really good book and I enjoyed reading it. I relate with her out of control dog because our dogs aren't exactly little angels. And having had a couple of dogs with separation anxiety I can attest to the fact that it is not that easy to train them past that, and not every dog responds to the harsh methods her dog trainer wanted her to use.
And as far as the reviewers who called the author "whiney", I guess unless you're living her life and dealing with a dog with cancer and then with your own cancer, perhaps it's best not to judge. I thought she handled everything remarkably well considering what she was going through. Not just the cancers, but dealing with the relationship problems and the problems with her boyfriend's family.
All in all I enjoyed the book and have recommended it to friends. It really is refreshing to read this kind of book and actually get a happy ending for once!
I did read the entire book although I can't say it was particularly enjoyable reading. Of course one might assume that from the start as the dog had cancer and later, so did the owner. My personal objection was the owner-author's attitude. This was constant and irritating. She found little to like in any medical personnel she encountered. Nor was she ever thankful for anything done for her or her dog. The dog was untrained and spoiled and a constant irritant for the neighbors. Owner's attitude uncaring, the dog and what he cared to do had priority. Did she ever think of any training for the dog? No it never entered her thought processes. In her mind, a dog is not happy unless it can do whatever it pleases. I am happy the dog survived, a lot of money, time and caring went into that final success. It was then a pity that the owner came up with cancer. But the success with the dog gave all hope. She was no happier with the majority of the medical personnel for humans than she was with those for animals. But she did follow the schedule and also survived. The admiral person through out the story was the wonderful boy friend. He is truly a saint and she was blessed to have his support through all the trials and tribulations.
I first purchased this book on a whim at Target simply because it had a Beagle on the front cover. Being the crazy Beagle lover that I am, I was a little worried once I read the back cover, thinking it may end up being a tear-jerker. I was very pleasantly surprised that it really wasn't! Teresa's honesty and humor as she described several very difficult situations in her life made the book nearly impossible to put down. I've since read the book twice more, and I've purchased several copies to send to fellow dog lovers.
Teresa and Seamus have made a very large impact on my life, and I am beyond grateful that Teresa was willing to open her life up and share her experiences.
Do yourself a favor and buy the book! And go make some fookin' toast to share with your pup.
