Why read it?

1 author picked Another Good Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love how the author unabashedly allowed the reader in to see not just the fluffy puppies and cuteness, but the hard work, the mistakes, the difficulties, and ultimately the “how and why” of the important work of fostering. Fostering saves lives, and Another Good Dog is a brilliant testimony to this fact.

From Teresa's list on rescue dogs.
