Paralegal Rebecca Halsey is determined to make a life for herself in the busy Chicago suburb, away from her fat-shaming family back in California. On her quest to get healthier, she takes a walk past a yard with a precious chained-up dog, and her heart instantly goes out to him. As she goes to implore the owner to treat the sweet pup better, she runs into Logan Calowayโa man whoโs been faithfully visiting the dog, aptly named Charlie, for months, begging for his release from his chain-link fenced prison. Sparks fly between Logan and Rebecca as they work together to try to get Charlie unleashed from his conditions, despite the dogโs stubborn owner and his obstinate resolve to keep the dog for himself for sentimental reasons. Not giving up, Logan, a physical therapist, and animal rescuer, and Navy vet, continues to visit Charlie daily, in hopes heโll run into Rebecca again. Once Charlie is freed, Logan finds Rebecca again, and she suggests they give Charlie a bunch of โfirstsโโฆ first beach run, first time sleeping indoors, first dog park visit. But when Charlie receives a diagnosis nobody is expecting, both Rebecca and Logan are crushed, but undeterred from giving Charlie all the love he needs and deserves. The question is, though, when the sparks fly and love begins to blossom between the two humans, will they act on it, or put it aside for the love and care of the dog whom theyโve both grown irrevocably in love with?
