A big,jumpy dog called who’s “hard to handle”, a scared little dog who snarls and snaps at everyone, a blind dog who hasnt been house-trained – all have come to the shelter.
What is going to happen to these abonded animals? Must they be euthanized? Or can they be adopted and live happily ever after?
Award -winning author Peg Kehret tells the true stories of eight amazing shelter dogs and how they have changed the lives of the caring,courageous people who love them……Kids will find the heroics appealing, but the book’s greatest achievement may be its potential for increasing adoption from shelters.”
