Helping the drug addict who stole my dog to get into rehab

Available for over a year

Canadian Brayden Morton was devastated when his beloved dog Darla was stolen from him. He ended up tracking her down but when he encountered the thief, he saw a distressed young homeless woman with a serious drug addiction and his own past was brought back to him in an unexpected and painful way. Brayden is himself a recovering addict with a troubled history including serving time in prison. He’s now a drugs interventionist and decided not to press charges against the young woman and instead help her through rehab.
