Rescued: What Second-chance Dogs Teach Us about Living with Purpose, Loving with Abandon, and Finding Joy in the Little Things | Peter Zheutlin
7 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Discover the astonishing lessons rescue dogs can teach us about life, love, and ourselves In the follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Rescue Road, acclaimed journalist Peter Zheutlin offers a heartwarming and often humorous new look into the world of rescue dogs. Sharing lessons from his own experiences adopting Labs with large personalities as well as stories and advice from dozens of families and rescue advocates, Zheutlin reveals the surprising and inspiring life lessons rescue dogs can teach us, such as: - How to "walk a mile in a dog's paws" to get a brand-new perspective - Living with a dog is not one continuous Hallmark moment--but it's never dull! - Why having a dog helps you see your faults and quirks in a new light, even if you can't "shed" them completely - How to set the world right, one dog at a time For anyone who loves, lives with, or has ever wanted a dog, this charming book shows how the dogs whose lives we save can change ours for the better too.

Nothing like a book of doggy stories to move the heart. Rescue dogs are the best dogs. #dogsoflitsy

And this is another of our rescue doggies (we have 3 in total). We got Darby when he was 4ish, so now he‘s about 12ish. Deaf as, and is slowing down, but as lovable and loving as anything. Dogs do have magical properties and teach us a lot about ourselves. #dogsoflitsy

When listening to a book of stories about rescue dogs, I had to go and get my own rescue doggies and bring them in for a cuddle. This is Shadow. She‘s 7 and weighs about 32kg. She would sleep on my lap like a cat if she could fit! Been with us since she was a pup. Foster fail! #dogslitsy

Just became available on BorrowBox (audio and rebook borrowing in Australia)a few days before it was due to. Looking forward to this one, tho I usually avoid animal stories in fear that they will make me cry. A few tears over a good story is a good thing tho :-) it might be totally uplifting with no tears too! Our dogs are rescues so this will hit home.

jhod I use Borrowbox in the UK. I had some problems and dealing with customer service was hilarious as we were so out of synch time wise! (They were very good though and sorted me out!) 7y
PirateJenny The stories in this are generally happy. They're after the dogs have been rescued. So while there's a bit of unpleasantness with how some of the dogs were abandoned, for the most part it's a happy book. With some pictures. I'm partial to Jake. 7y

It's day 10 for #nonficnov and the theme is animals/pets. I am loving the newly published book 'Rescued' by Peter Zheutlin. WONDERFUL, heartfelt book. Not you typical rescue story. I felt like the author really examined our love for dogs and why the bond is so strong. Five paws up! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
