A BOOK BY TONYA WHITTLE

RELENTLESS Life With Labs

Life lessons from woman’s best friends.

Some of our greatest teachers
arrive on four paws.

A heartfelt, funny memoir about laughter and chaos, perseverance and loss, and the deep, unwavering love that carried me through.

Two dogs.
Two wildly different personalities.
One unforgettable life.

Tetley was the spark—if not the entire fire. Lexie was the steady presence. Together, they turned ordinary days into adventures and taught me how to show up, love hard, and keep going—no matter what.

The kind that shows up without conditions and stays, even when life falls apart.

LAUGHTER

From muddy trails to midnight zoomies, they kept life joyful and never boring.

LESSONS

About courage, trust, letting go, and finding strength in the most unexpected places.
