EDITOR’S CHOICE
A touching, beautifully written tribute to loyalty and compassion—Saving Gigy captures the true spirit of love between humans and animals.
Saving Gigy by ILuta Sutra is a heartfelt and moving memoir that speaks to the unbreakable bond between humans and their pets. At its core, this true story is a testament to love, loss, and the quiet heroism of doing the right thing, even when it hurts.
Gigy, an irresistibly charming English cocker spaniel, begins her life in a home filled with affection, comfort, and joy. But life throws a wrench into this idyllic world, and her humans are forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to rehome her. Rather than parting with her blindly, they commit themselves to an extraordinary journey — one rooted in compassion — to find Gigy the perfect new family.
Sutra’s narrative is simple yet deeply affecting. Through vivid anecdotes and emotional honesty, she reminds us that even when we must let go, we can still protect what we love. There’s no sugar-coating here—this isn’t a tidy fairy tale with a glossy ending. Instead, Saving Gigy offers something more meaningful: a real-life portrayal of love that endures and adapts.
With a foreword by Mariel Hemingway, the book carries an added note of reflection on emotional resilience and kindness. Sutra’s writing encourages readers to look inward and consider the ripple effect of every caring act.
Animal lovers, especially dog owners, will find Saving Gigy an emotional but rewarding read—one that leaves you with a renewed faith in humanity and the transformative power of empathy.
