<i><b><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></i><i><b><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-large;">Can a woman mired deep in the throes of grief have her heart and soul rallied by a therapy dog named Prozac who has supernatural wisdom and a canine Mensa IQ? </span></b></i><br />
<i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Meredith Mancuso is depressed. Ever since the death of her fiancé, she has shrunk from the world. Even with her successful writing career, she's not motivated to work. When her sister, Monica, begs for a favor, Meredith wants nothing more than to say no. But she’s ultimately roped into pet-sitting an orphaned Yorkshire terrier named Prozac. </span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Prozac and the community of resilient older folks challenged by losses of their own propel Meredith, often against her will, back into the land of the living.
