Dill’s Chalet

A loyal dog. A lonely woman. One final storm.

A heartwarming survival tale told through the eyes of a dog — Book 4 in A.R. Shaw's Disasters in a Jar series.

Sharon is a woman haunted by loss, cigarettes, and memories of her sons. Her only constant is Dill — a golden retriever trained to sense her seizures before they strike. Together, they retreat to her quiet mountain chalet in Banff, where snow falls heavy and silence presses close.

But this winter, the storm isn't the only thing coming. When the power fails and the world turns white, Dill must do more than warn her — he must save her.

🐾 A story of devotion and quiet heroism

Told through Dill's eyes, this tale captures unconditional love in the darkest of times. His loyalty becomes a light in the storm.

❄️ The mountain won't wait
