review 1: THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR ALL DOG LOVERS. THIS WOMAN'S JOURNEY INTO FINDING OUT HER RESCUE DOGS PAST LED TO SOME VERY HORRIFIC PLACES. THAT SAID, SHE FOUND MANY WONDERFUL PLACES THAT MOST OF US HAVE ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT AND A FEW OTHERS I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT AND PLAN TO HELP. I WAS HAPPILY SURPRISED SHE MENTIONED A HORRIFIC, WELL THERE ARE MANY HORRIFIC PLACES IN THAT STATE, IN NC THAT A WERE DOING HEART STICKING TO KILL THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS. I REMEMBER THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE SO MANY OF US SENT LETTERS AND SIGNED PETITIONS TO GET THIS PLACE STOPPED AND THE DIRECTOR REMOVED. AND AS A GREAT RESULT OF SO MANY, THIS HAPPENED. THEY STILL DO EUTHANIZE THE DOGS BUT NOT IN THAT WAY, THEY WERE TRAINED TO DO THE INJECTION. I'M HOPING THEY BECOME A NO KILL AT SOME POINT. MAN... moreY PLACES STILL HAVE THE GAS CHAMBER AS WELL, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT IS ILLEGAL IN MANY STATES NOW AND HOPING TO KEEP FIGHTING IT IN OTHER STATES. ONE HEROIC MAN AS SOON AS HE WON THE BATTLE TO TAKE OVER A SHELTER TOOK A BULLDOZER AND KNOCKED THE GAS CHAMBER TO THE GROUND AS HIS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS. THERE ARE SO MANY DOGS IN THESE KILL SHELTERS AND THROUGH THE HELP OF ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL ORGANIZATIONS, RESCUE GROUPS, PEOPLE IN GENERAL WHO PULL THEM OUT AND FOSTER THEM TO FIND BETTER HOMES ARE ANGELS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT NEED HELP. THIS BOOK IS A WONDERFUL WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON THINGS YOU CAN DO AND ON THE LIVES OF SOME WONDERFUL DOGS THAT WERE SAVED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL DOG LOVERS OUT THERE!
review 2: LOVED this book. A great peek into the world of rescue without being overly sad. It's education and touching and eye opening. A must read for anyone involved in rescue. I admire the author's mission to find out the history about her dog and in the process learn about the whole rescue chain. As as avid rescuer, we need more awareness and education and less Sarah McLaughlin commercials. This is a fantastic story and well written. less
