Dennis Western blew into his sister-in-laws life after a very rough storm, so to speak. The trial of the mayors son who had runoff the road before, into the valley she later bought, and he'd run over eight year old Brianna's legs. Being retired, thirty year navy man, he helps Bri get ready for a surgery. Her parents settled for a summ of money and had put her in an orphanages care. Sassy Long, real name Cassie Western, finds her on a book tour and calls her grandpa. She'd bought her dream land from Bill.

   The trial had been illegal so it was redone. No double jeapordy. As they leave the court Brianas parents are there all lovey Dover, but it was a trick to get them back from overseas, where they were spending Bristol surgery and medical funds. A news article had told of how it was to be retried and she was expected to get much more money. She did, but would they get any?

   Jasper was in Sasys fenced yard one day. He was starved and scared but she fed him. He was a huge dog. Unknown breed. Looked like a small bear to her Sassy. He ate a pound of food twice a day, After, he got back to normal. He was very protective of Sassy. He liked to play with Bri and helps her practice for her surgery. Dennis teaches all. The Janine arrives. Jasper is won over by the pretty lady. Then Bailey, Caline, and Baspar join them. At least they are small for awhile.
