" I'm sure this book had good intentions, but unlike other animal stories I read, it left me depressed and sad and I had to stop reading it early. The scene of the woman punching the pitbull in the head still haunts me today. "

" This guys is a writer whose subject is...dogs. Surprise, surprise! BUT this book tells about his own adoption/rescue stories; mostly of dogs who find HIM rather than the other way around. If you'd like to know more about rescuing, this book will tell you what you can do, even if you're just doing it on your own. "

" Tells the story of dog rescuer Ken Foster from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina in both a practical and a personal way. Low on sentiment and - remarkably, given some of the segments - anger. High on responsibility and love for dogs. Would have liked pictures of those he's rescued and his own dogs. "

" I loved this book. It was an easy read. I wish that he had shared pictures of his dogs in the book. I am a noticer of dogs too. I actually notice dogs way before I notice people. This book has useful information about rescuing dogs, and organizations that help! "

" This is a book for dog lovers. The author does a great job describing his connection with his dogs, dogs he rescues and all dogs. At times my heart broke hearing the stories of dogs being mistreated. But it is a great story about the compassion people can have for their 4 legged friends.
