Heartwarming, inspirational & genuinely touching, Finding Harmony is the remarkable true story of an extraordinary dog that rescued a woman from the depths of depression & transformed a family for ever. A keen mountaineer, Sally Hyder was in her prime & loving life. She shared her passion for climbing with her partner Andrew & it was a dream come true when Andrew proposed at Everest Base Camp. For them, climbing mountains made anything seem possible & represented their attitude to life. But a year after Sally & Andrew were married Sally was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She was only 28 & was training to be a Macmillan nurse
- she wanted to care for the terminally ill. But Sally was determined the disease wouldn't slow her down: she went back to work looking after others &, despite warnings that her condition could deteriorate in pregnancy, went on to have three beautiful children. But it was when her youngest child Melissa was diagnosed with severe autism that Sally began to spiral into depression. Sally felt guilty about the pressures faced by her elder daughter Clara in her role as carer. Sally worried that she was missing out on the freedom of childhood. She needed help. Unsure who to turn to, she happened upon Canine Partners & an extraordinary dog called Harmony. They formed an instant bond; Harmony can perform over 100 chores
- from putting groceries into the trolley to handing over Sally's purse at the till. Harmony is an unending source of comfort: she intuitively knows when Sally is in pain & calms Melissa when she suffers panic attacks. Harmony has given Sally the ability to start living once more, & become a mother again in her own way. She has shown Sally that the sky's the limit &, with a taste for independence that she hadn't felt since her mountaineering days, Sally's sights are set on the peaks of Ben Nevis once more. In August 2010 Sally planned to climb the hardest of the Munro Mountains. Sadly her attempt was thwarted after her motorised wheelchair short-circuited. But Sally is a fighter & is training for her second attempt, which she will complete with her husband by her side. & Harmony too, of course.
