Publisher's Summary He was searching for a lost dog. He found more than he’d ever hoped for. On Valentine’s Day 2019, someone stole Steven Carino’s dog, Oliver, from his car. Having lost his mother at 13 and grown up with an alcoholic father, he could always count on his dogs for comfort and company. But now, with his beloved Oliver missing, Steven felt utterly alone. Then, the miracle. In a series of near-impossible coincidences, people from different walks of life crossed paths with Oliver and with Steven. Hardworking immigrants, wealthy suburbanites, car mechanics, deli workers, old friends, close relatives, street cops, gang members, a TV news reporter, social media followers around the world, and one very gifted hairdresser all played a part in Steven’s desperate journey to find Oliver. In the middle of it all, Steven realized that no one is ever truly alone - and that the power of community can be life-changing. Oliver is not just a book about a stolen dog. At its core, it’s a story about kindness, friendship, and the power of faith. As Steven says, “This is more than just a dog story. This is an everybody story. This is a love story.” Bring Steven and Oliver's story to life with photos included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I was gifted this book by a friend. I was actually thinking it was going to be a light sappy story. This was not the case. It’s not just a story of a stolen dog, it is the story of courage, of human kindness, of the power of faith and love. Oliver will make you laugh and make you cry but best of all it will make you pause and reflect on this thing called life and the fact that it’s not how we live it, it’s who we let guide it.
This book has become one of my favorites, it’s about so much more than a lost dog, it’s about a man who was incredibly lost and how his circumstances show him how much he is loved. The lessons learned are so essential. Because a dog was lost, a community was brought together, lives were changed and love won.
