A Dog Named Beautiful

A heartwarming tale of a Marine, his three-legged dog, and their life-changing road trip - a journey of love, loss, and hope.

"A beautiful, beautiful book." - Jenna Bush Hager

Returning from war, US Marine Rob Kugler is lost in grief, having not only given a year of his life in service to his country, but also lost a brother in the fighting. He finds solace in his ever-smiling chocolate lab, Bella. But then Bella develops a limp from cancer, and the prognosis isn't good. Rob must choose: let her go now, or amputate her leg and see what the next few months will bring.

Rob chooses the latter, and instead of waiting at home for the cancer to spread, they pack their bags and hit the road. As they criss-cross the country, Rob and Bella meet remarkable people who quickly befriend this incredible three-legged dog. A Dog Named Beautiful is a book full of inspiration, hope, love, tears, and laughter. An unforgettable memoir of a US Marine, his extraordinary canine companion, and their road trip of a lifetime.
