where we may least expect it." — The Christian Science Monitor
"Packed with vivid characters and dramatic incidents, The Lost Dogs

fairy-tale endings are within reach when those involved are infused
with spirit, confidence and commitment." — The Seattle Kennel
Club

and love." -Allen St. John, author of The Billion Dollar Game:

News Kennels to richly tell the rest of the story: how these
amazing dogs, in the wake of such brutality, help bring out the
best in the human spirit." — Tom Verducci, author of The Yankee
Years
