For Anna, life in Detroit had become a daily game of survival. After a messy divorce left her dead broke, she was forced to move into a neighborhood where you didn’t walk outside after dark.
She was the perfect target: young, female, and living alone. After being followed home twice, she decided she needed protection.
She went to the shelter and found Athena—a retired Police K9 German Shepherd. The officer at the shelter handed the dog over surprisingly fast, almost as if he was desperate to get rid of her.
Anna didn’t ask questions. She just snapped the leash on. With a 70-pound missile of muscle by her side, she finally felt invisible to the predators on the street.
But she had no idea that Athena was hiding a secret that would soon save her life.
