Dogs & underdogs: finding happiness at both ends of the leash

By Elizabeth Abbott

Canadian non-fiction, Canadian authors (Non-fiction), Nature, Animals and wildlife

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Summary

From the soulless concrete corridors of an American prison to the halls of a Canadian hospital to life among the ruins in post-war Serbia, the author meets people whose lives are changed forever by a wagging tail and a pair… of soulful eyes—and dogs who find a new lease on life with devoted human companions. Sharing stories of rescuing dogs in need of shelter, friendship, and love: devoted Tommy, the inspiration who began it all; irrepressible Bonzi, the beagle who charmed his way into prisoners’ hearts; and many more, the author digs down into the deepest roots of the human–animal bond, showing us that together people and dogs can find hope and happiness. 2015.
