More DescriptionFinley's first owner leaves him with his mother when he heads out to fight the war in Afghanistan. Two years later, she receives tragic news. Her son has died in a helicopter crash. Grief stricken and unable to take care of him any longer, she drops Finley off at the Humane Society. Finley sinks into a deep depression, but a dog trainer there sees his potential and brings him to a nearby prison. There he's enrolled in a special program that tries to transform shelter dogs into service dogs who help Wounded Warriors. Amy Wallace, a former meth addict in her last year of prison for shoplifting, has never owned a dog before. She's selected to become Finley's trainer. Chris Seger, a marine who lost his leg in an IED blast, is plagued even more by his struggles with PTSD. A friend tells him about this prison program. Chris reluctantly checks it out, though he can't imagine how a dog can possibly help. Rescuing Finley is a moving story about the mysterious power of God's love and how he uses a dog to mend two broken lives -- the female inmate who trains Finley and the Afghan war vet who adopts him.
