After she leaves an abusive marriage, Sharon Curry closes her heart to romance, focusing her energy on raising her two daughters. But as the girls become more independent, Sharon feels something is missing. Then she sees the little, gray puppy that changes her life. Sharon follows the stray into an alley, hoping to rescue it, but when she turns the corner, she is confronted with a heartbreaking sight: the puppy's companion, an emaciated German Shepherd with a badly broken leg, stands shackled to an oil drum. Sharon calls the police & animal shelters, but no one will help. Finally, she is referred to Barry Storm, a man who loves animals as much as she. Their joint effort to rescue the abused dog & the puppy leads Sharon on a life-saving campaign to free abused & neglected dogs from the horrors they face. Although she continues to work with Barry, Sharon realizes she can do more for these tortured creatures on her own & so she begins secretly working at night stealing dogs from their abusive owners. Through dangerous neighborhoods under the cover of darkness, Sharon is shot at, threatened & screamed at, but courageously continues on. When Barry discovers her secret life, he demands she stop for her own safety. Sharon refuses, knowing she may lose Barry, a man who has broken through the carefully constructed barrier that protects her heart. Rather than leave the side of the one woman he has come to love, Barry decides to join Sharon in her crusade. Happily, they fight together to save every dog they can & even on their wedding night, Sharon & Barry cannot resist the bark of a dog in need.
