Resumen del Editor

Where can you turn when the world turns against you? When Elizabeth Barnes’ life fell apart, she never imagined that she’d be rescued by a new friend on four paws.

The plan was simple: Elizabeth would ignore the fact that she was unjustly fired from her dream job, fly across the pond to settle an unexpected inheritance in her father’s home country, and quickly return to reclaim her position among the Silicon Valley elite.

But when Elizabeth stumbles upon an abandoned puppy, she’s shocked to realize that her brief trip to England might turn into an extended stay. Her strict itinerary is upended completely by the pup’s dogged devotion, and soon the lovable puppy helps her to connect with a tight-knit community of new friends on two legs and four, from the aunt and uncle she didn't know existed, to a grumpy coffee shop owner, to two very opinionated sheep. Along the way, Elizabeth is confronted by long-kept family secrets, hard truths about her former life, and a new romance that might lead her to question everything she knows about love. Because sometimes, rescue magic happens on both ends of the leash.

"Victoria Schade is that author who could write anything and I’d read it. Who Rescued Who is the perfect feel-good book with charismatic characters, swoony romance, family secrets, and snuggly puppies. Grab your furry friend and start reading now." (Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake and The Optimist’s Guide to Letting Go)

"I loved it so, so much. It made me cry, but mostly it made me want to throw away my phone, buy some sheep and move to the English countryside to rescue dogs and live in a rom-com." (Teri Wilson, author of The Accidental Beauty Queen)

Just Charming

It was a lovely journey of self growth and discovery. About is really important. The very perfect listen when one wants to be happy and loves dogs.

this is a totally awesome book.

awesome book. a extreamly wonderfull story and performance. wish it were longer. I would like to have known more.

Who Rescued Who

Overall I did enjoy this book even though there were some rather slow stretches. Elizabeth was so absorbed in trying to keep up with her usual job as an out of work tech person that she had trouble seeing the forest for the trees for much of the time. When she did take time to appreciate how lucky she was to have so many good things that surrounded her, she was a different person. I did love the ending but it seemed to be too rushed. But being an animal lover, I would rate this book @ 4.5*.

who rescued who

could have been much shorter. I prefer a strong woman lead, not a winey one. the pets were great.

Lifting, and a change of pace for me.

Victoria Schade points a light on the value of real relationships with kind people and a gentler culture, and holds up the never enough work till you drop "work ethic" to the light. Some Immersive characters I would like to be friends with, and others I would cross the street to avoid. Schade is a celebrated author of pet related literature, and I was concerned that Who rescued Who could be too steeped in dog ownership. That concern was eleviated as Schade built on the benefits and responsibilities in a pet relationship and the ways that softens your heart and can ground you in a spinning world. I found I became more involved from the intimate moment in the beer cellar on till the end. Loved the description and meaningful detail of the artwork mailed to SF. Really nice touches back to previous events. Comendable performance by the narrator. Maria Calin added depth with impeccable accents. I believe she's British, but you wouldn't know that from her American accent which is the main narrative.

Perfect story, loss, love and a happy ending !

I really liked this book, the story was excellent and ofcourse the fact that it had dogs in the story made it even better.

The sad truth of social media.

I was very annoyed with Elizabeth and her addiction to social media. Here she was in a wonderful part of the world and all she could think about was how many likes and hashtags she could receive. The new tech company she went to work for was a horrible statement on what some companies would do to children. I started the book as it was supposed to be about how a dog saved her. I almost quit because I was so annoyed with Elizabeth. I kept going as I was hopeful there would be a good resolution. Spoiler warning, there was finally.
