- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book gives an interesting insight into life with a rescue dog and the issues these dogs often face when they find their 'forever homes.' The author shares many stories his own rescue dog, Albie, and also anecdotes of other rescue dogs. These stories create a range of emotions in the reader as they are touching, humorous and often gut-wrenching. However, there were times I found the book boring, especially when the author moved away from the dog stories.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm a sucker for dogs of all sorts, but I have a particular soft spot for rescues. I currently have three rescue dogs (and a rescue cat) filling our home with love. I've had rescue dogs and cats all my adult life, and so I'm not new to the challenges they can present, with both health and behavior issues. This book, in my opinion, is aimed more toward people who are new to life with rescue dogs.The author provides information on kill shelters and a little detail on how rescue organizations work. He gives us a look at what we might expect when rescuing a dog. This book is told in a series of vignettes from the author's own experiences and an assortment of dog owners he interviewed. I prefer a more straightforward story. I found I couldn't settle in and feel the emotions here. We didn't linger long enough in any one spot for me to form a picture and attachment. I do think this book is a great starter for anyone considering rescuing a dog or who is new to the experience. And I commend the effort here. I hope this book helps sway people toward adoption over purchasing from pet stores and/or breeders.*The publisher provided me with an ebook copy, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.*
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great overview of adopting a rescue dog. It includes stories of multiple families who have chosen to take a rescue into their home through either adoption or fostering. They are heartwarming and inspirational. As a rescue pet owner myself, I didn't find anything too new or astonishing in this book, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering or wondering about getting a rescue. It will certainly give you many reasons to step out and take the plunge.My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5dogs, pets, rescue, family-dynamics Reading this book reminds us that adoption is a difficult but rewarding experience whether the adoptee is human or canine. Countless tales of the frustrations and joys of bringing home a grown individual we know little about puts the spotlight on the mistaken ideas we may have as well as well as the love we may share. There are too many abused or abandoned dogs who can enrich our lives even as we make a positive difference in theirs. Some of the examples here are hard to read because of the trials of illness that can come to either dog or human. I think that this book is well worth your time and money whether you have had rescue dogs or are considering doing so.We have had rescue dogs and highly recommend it,I requested a copy through Netgalley and am very glad to have read it.
