Gwen: A Love Story About a Girl, a Boy, and a Pit Bull

Caitlin, in the beginning of Stacy Ataree's Gwen, is starting yet another new high school and living with yet another new foster family. She's a social outcast without friends or love, but her life changes when she rescues and hides an injured pit bull puppy she names Gwen, who just escaped from a near-lethal dog fight. The two form a special bond and their pairing sets off a chain of events that gives Caitlin a chance of having a real family, as well as the opportunity to win the affection of Mitch, the school heartthrob. That is, until Gwen's original owner intercedes, a ruthless drug dealer who'll stop at nothing to get his dog back, even if it means using Mitch. And this time it just might be Caitlin who needs rescuing.
