A decade ago, Special Forces warrior Jason Morgan parachuted into the Central American jungle on an anti-narcotics raid. He&#x2019;d served with the famous Night Stalkers on countless such missions. This one turned out very different. Months later, he regained consciousness in a US military hospital, with no memory of how he&#x2019;d gotten there. The first words he heard were from his surgeon telling him he would never walk again. The determined soldier responded: &#x201c;Sir, yes, I will.&#x201d;<br><br>After multiple surgeries, unbearable chronic pain, and numerous setbacks, Morgan was finally making progress when his wife left him and their three young sons. He was a single father confined to a wheelchair and tortured by his pain. At this very dark, very low point, Morgan found light: Napal, the black Labrador who would change his life forever.<br><br>A Dog Called Hope is the incredible story of a remarkable service dog who brought a devastated warrior back from the brink.
