Finley's first owner leaves him with his mother when he heads out to fight the war in Afghanistan. Two years later, she receives tragic news. Her son has died in a helicopter crash. Grief stricken and unable to take care of him any longer, she drops Finley off at the Humane Society. Finley sinks into a deep depression, but a dog trainer there sees his potential and brings him to a nearby prison. There he's enrolled in a special program that tries to transform shelter dogs into service dogs who help Wounded Warriors. Amy Wallace, a former meth addict in her last year of prison for shoplifting, has never owned a dog before. She's selected to become Finley's trainer. Chris Seger, a marine who lost his leg in an IED blast, is plagued even more by his struggles with PTSD. A friend tells him about this prison program. Chris reluctantly checks it out, though he can't imagine how a dog can possibly help. Rescuing Finley is a moving story about the mysterious power of God's love and how he uses a dog to mend two broken lives -- the female inmate who trains Finley and the Afghan war vet who adopts him.
