Hannah was Burchett's best friend, so when he first learned of Hannah's cancer diagnosis, he decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and furry) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. When Hannah lived well past the expected time frame, Burchett started to see that through Hannah's antics, God was preparing Dave for life itself. 20150302. Dog owners Religious life.
