About

Letting Go of Adele is a documentary feature.

This is a love story about a woman with a broken heart, the dog who saved her life every day for nine years, and what it means to let go.

Marty had a heart condition that used to make her faint every day. Adele was the world’s first cardiac alert service dog and she stopped Marty from fainting at all. They were the perfect team. They were soulmates. Adele could literally sense the the beating of Marty’s heart.

But nothing can last forever, and when Adele gets too old to continue working, Marty must figure out how to let go of her best friend and find a new partner who can take over the job of protecting her heart.

With Adele by her side, Marty went from being unable to walk around the block without passing out, to leading an adventurous, joy-filled life as a wife and mother. She doesn’t want to go back to how it was before Adele, but going forward is just as scary.
