Title:  IT ALL STARTED WITH A DOG

Author:  Leigh Somerville McMillan

 Rachel Springer is a tough lawyer living and working in Washington, DC. As a single
woman with a life full of friends, fun and her own firm, the last thing she needs or
wants is a dog. But something about the stray she finds on the streets of Georgetown
touches Rachel's heart and she takes him home, opening up a whole new world that
teaches her an important lesson:  It's never too late to fall in love.
