Overview

Four dogs - No money - No credit - No job - No home Recession, it's not just a word. It's a sledgehammer to people's lives. ""We are not giving up our dogs!"" Alexandra and her husband vow to each other, even though they know that all odds are against them. LOSING IT ALL is for anyone who has faced loss, questioned their worth, or wondered how to begin again. What could have been the saddest time of their lives somehow becomes an adventure when they start working in a sausage kitchen. It's also a love story-between partners, between friends, and between humans and their animals. It is a call to see people, not just numbers; to dream big, even when the world seems small; and to remember that, in the end, what matters most is not what we own, but who we become when everything else is stripped away. ""You don't just grab the bull by the horns, you hold him tight, give him a kiss on the forehead, slap his behind, and set him free."" This becomes the couple's new philosophy. Honesty is their only way forward. Alexandra Lynn's true story is a testament to hope, humor, and the belief that no one should ever have to choose between a roof and a loyal pet
