Intrepid
by David Weckerly
What parent of a ten-year-old daughter can resist her fervent pleas for a
dog? Especially when her young life has been marked by the pain of a
horrible car accident that took her mother when she was a toddler. Jay
McAllister, single parent for the past eight years, heeds the call of a
neighbor in need of placing a newborn puppy and welcomes Intrepid - a
Lab-mix orphan - into his family. Intrepid gains the nickname "Tepid",
but her fit into the McAllister household is anything but lukewarm. She
helps the family heal from wounds they thought they had left behind
years ago, integrating herself into their lives and burrowing into their
hearts. She instills belief in Jay, knowledge that hurts can be healed,
family can be strengthened, and joy can return even when it has been
absent for quite a while.
She also opens his mind to something otherworldly. Together, Jay and Tepid experience the reality that a promise made - between a wife and a husband, between a public servant and his community - can transcend even death itself.
