The Story Of Chix

On a hot summer day in Memphis, Corey Holtzberg’s eyes locked on to a sweet black lab puppy. He knew instantly he would be making a big decision that day. He wanted to adopt a new puppy, but was he ready for one that had been born with a poor spine and hips? One that would be facing a lifetime of issues? As he picked her out of the litter, something deep in his heart spoke to him: Corey, you need to help this little girl. Knowing her condition, the breeder was only asking seventy-five dollars for her adoption fee. To this day, that was the best seventy-five dollars Corey ever spent. Chix lived a legendary life, overcame many obstacles, taught Corey countless lessons, and showed him a love that can’t be put into words. She was his dog, his best friend, a reason for living, and now she is his mission. After her passing, Corey found himself sharing countless stories about her life. As he witnessed people’s reactions, he began to think these stories had to be told in a book. 88 Pills is a heartwarming and hysterical story about the sweet Southern soul that changed his life. His dream is to raise enough money through book sales that he can open a specialized animal rescue for less fortunate dogs, like Chix, that others might overlook.
