Description

GRACIE OF HOBBS COUNTY observes small-town life through the eyes of a therapy dog, a canine trained to comfort students at a school in deep Appalachia. The problem is that this dog remains at heart a "flusher," good at rousting game from mountain scrub. Her training and nature combine to make Gracie superb when it comes to rooting out anxiety from the human heart-a gift that eventually puts her in jeopardy. She is stolen by a charming old scoundrel, a stock trader who uses the pup to flush and fleece the weakest hands at his cross-town business, the Luxor Trading Room & Pawn Shop. Gracie becomes an unwitting pawn in his new approach to the markets: dog-assisted trading.
