The tiny Lasa-Poo puppy without a name is perfectly happy living in Iowa. But as soon as he is weaned from his mother, he is shipped off to a pet store in Pensacola, Florida. As months go by and one dog after the other disappears around him, the puppy lies in his crate, listens to all of the barking and wonders when someone will finally choose him. Five-hundred miles away in Houston, Texas, Christmas Eve arrives as a couple packs and prepares to fly to Pensacola for their annual holiday getaway. But when an unexpected trip to the emergency room derails their plans, the couple decides to drive to Florida, arriving just in time for a Christmas day party with their friends. Unaware that fate is leading the way, Marla and Henry end up in a pet store the next day, where they quickly fall in love with a puppy busily scratching his bedding in the back of the crate. A few minutes later, the Lasa-Poo puppy excitedly realized that at last, he has finally found a perfect home. Taking Chancey is the charming tale of one puppy's journey from a lonely crate to the one place he always dreamed of-his forever home.

It is 1938 and Adolf Hitler has just become the supreme leader of Germany. In Freiburg, a Jewish doctor learns that he, along with all other doctors of his faith, will be reassigned to practice in ghettos. Determined not to become victims of the Nazi occupation, Herschel and his wife, Sophia, hastily make plans to escape. As their quest to survive begins, the couple journeys deep into the Black Forest to reach a guide who will help them cross the Swiss Alps to a refugee camp. But what Herschel does not know is that his wife is pregnant and that their journey will be even more challenging than he imagined. As they race against time, they are joined by an older couple and their granddaughter. Finally when the group arrives at the base of the mountains, they realize that their guide is not a man, but instead, man's best friend. As another joins their expedition, now only one question remains: how many of them will make it over the mountain range before the German soldiers find them? In this book based on true events, a Jewish doctor, his pregnant wife, and four others attempt to escape the Nazi occupation by embarking on a journey of salvation, with help from a prodigious, furry guide.

Five years have passed since Chancey made his appearance in Taking Chancey, and many things have happened--some good, some bad, and some ugly. This is the continuation of his story. Chancey is a bit older now and diabetic, and Hank and Marla have to give him two shots a day. He also has to eat high-fiber foods, he's gone blind, and he's adjusting to spending more time inside. But perhaps the biggest change is that Hank and Marla are selling their house and moving to an Over 55 Active retirement apartment project in a different city. Even with all this going on, Chancey still enjoys everyday adventures, including getting pollen all over his body when he spends too much time sniffing flowers on a walk and apartment hunting with his owners. Look at life through the eyes of the mischievous and loving dog navigating his later years with his aging owners in a new environment, a delightful continuation of Chancey's adventures.
