The version I read came from Reader's Digest condensed books.
If I am collecting canine stories helping at risk-folks for publication, this story will go into the first round of selection. It is just amazing to me how her deceased husband's joke about her as a life guard would lead to her being able to save his life bringing consequences at his demise. After all, it is just a joke, he was trying to make conversation with a beautiful young woman whom he hoped was going to become his wife.
Roxanne, the new widow in the book who happened to be a psychologist, took a leave of absence and headed to an island and started life anew as a part-time animal control warden. I guess her experience as her husband's veterinary assistant barely enabled her to cope with the cases she encountered on the small island. Time, friends and the non-threatening love of an injured dog brought her around. As in any story worth a rereading, it ended after some danger and an unlikely hero saved the day.
