Through panic and gridlock, Alex and Ruth must transport their beloved old dachshund whose back legs are suddenly paralyzed to the animal hospital, using a cutting board as a stretcher.

Over the course of forty-eight hours, as the mystery of the missing truck driver terrorizes the city and the dachshund s life hangs in the balance, the bidding war over their apartment becomes a barometer for collective hope and despair. Told in shifting points of view Alex s, Ruth s, and the little dog s "Heroic Measures" is a moving, deft novel about urban anxiety and the love that deepens over years."
