Dogs Who Found Me: What I've Learned From Pets Who… por Ken Foster

Since the author is a writing instructor, I was surprised that the actual writing wasn't better, but i enjoyed his stories about the dogs in his life. Pit bulls and pit mixes get such a bad rap, but the two I have known (not owned) have been sweet dogs. Although I grew up with dogs, I have chosen not to own them in my adulthood, due to my lifestyle. I don't think I would be able to be a responsible owner. That being said, some of the owners in this book shouldn't be allowed to own pets of any kind.

Good for Ken Foster for being such an advocate and rescuing all the dogs he sees...and he sees a lot of them!… (mais)

City of Dogs: New York Dogs, Their Neighborhoods,… por Ken Foster

Great pictures of NYC dogs along with their owners. Stories about their owners show how diverse dog-lovers are and illustrate the uniqueness of how they got together.

Dogs Who Found Me: What I've Learned From Pets Who… por Ken Foster

This book starts in New York City in August of 2001 and ends in New Orleans in the summer of 2005, which should give you an idea of how uplifting it is. It will also teach you more than you want to know about heart worms.

I enjoyed this book tremendously, but it's not a feel-good tale about rescuing dogs and leading them to happy lives. Some parts are quite sad.
