Rescue Dogs

Where They Come From, Why They Act the Way They Do, and How to Love Them Well

De: Gene Stone, Pete Paxton

Narrado por: Stephen Graybill

A fascinating look at rescue dogs--where they come from, why every dog lover should consider adopting one, and how to make them part of your family.

America's leading undercover animal investigator, Pete Paxton, has, among other exploits, infiltrated more than seven hundred puppy mills, worked undercover to close one of the largest and most infamous puppy mills in the United States, and shuttered the most notorious trafficker of dogs for experimentation in history. In this book, he shares stories of the amazing dogs he has rescued and brought to loving families, and also offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone living with rescue dogs.

Far too many people think rescue dogs have irredeemable anxieties, behavior issues, or other problems. In truth, rescue dogs can--and do--become wonderful companions. This groundbreaking book will help readers understand these dogs' unique ways of thinking, learning, and loving, and leaves no questions unanswered about the plight of dogs commercially bred in the United States--and what every dog lover can do about it.

Amazing

Such good information must listen to if you own a dog or want a dog

Wonderful book

I have been doing rescue work for over 40 years. I've seen the terrible abuse that is described in this book and hope that anyone who reads it will join in the fight to help these dogs that can't speak for themselves.

I have a T shirt that says it all. It has a picture of a puppy and under it, it says "I sit for you,will you stand up for me?" It says it all. We need to stand up and help man's best friend. All they ask is to be loved, food in their belly and someone to love them in return for all the love they will give and companionship.

Rescue Dogs

Awesome. As a person who worked in rescue I found this book eye opening. Puppy mills are horrendous. Lancaster Pa may be a center of puppy mills around the Amish but in New York State our beautiful Finger Lakes has now become a large area of Amish run puppy mills. We in the region are just sick over it and trying desperately to end this sooner than later. Too many unwanted animals in this country as it is.

eye opening

when i read the description of this book i never imagined i would be learning about such horrors of animal abuse. For an animal lover, especially of dogs, this book was very difficult to read. my heart broke at the stories and I cried many times for those animals that endure such pain and cannot be saved. Pete is one of many heroes. i could not have done what he did each and every day for years. if you are an animal lover, get involved. the book tells you how.

Excellent Book

This is an amazing book. I was hooked from the beginning. It really opens your eyes to so many levels of how animals can suffer. Yet also how wonderful animals are and the wonderful people out there who are trying to help the animals.

Couldn't stop listening.

If you want to learn more about puppy Mills this is definitely the book for you. It was well written very informative and it gave you real accounts Along with proactive ways to help the puppies.

Not what I expected

This book is not what I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be a cutesy book about rescue dogs but it’s much more gritty and real with cutesy stories throughout. It’s well written and the reader was excellent in my opinion. Just be aware this book may unsettle you.

A fast read for anyone who loves dogs

I bought this thinking it would give me pointers on bringing home my shelter rescue / new dog.
It does do some of that but there’s a lot more to know about these dogs & how we can help. Some lovely stories of shelter dogs finding their forever homes.
It’s a short book & I recommend it!

Very Informative

I just found out that dogs from puppy mills are never allowed out of their small, cramped crates from the moment they are born until the day that they die. They live in their crates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the USDA uses our tax money to do so. I highly recommend read this book to help puppy mill dogs be let out even for a few hours a day!

Profound and necessary

I couldn’t recommend this book more highly. The perfect balance of education, empathy, raw honesty, and encouragement for the future of rescue dogs adopters.
