The Tales of Rescued Dogs

For anyone who is an animal lover, myself included, Deborah Eades' book is definitely one that deserves a heart warming Awwwwwe! Deborah is a volunteer for what's known as the Dog Rescue Railroad. Years ago a website was created called petfinder.com which helps place pets in new homes. Volunteers often travel cross country to pick up animals and transport them to their new owners.

"These are all volunteers who give up their day off and pay their own gas expense to save a life. Most would tell you that they are the ones who benefit the most, by seeing what a difference one person can make to a homeless animal."

Deborah states in the introduction that every animal has its own unique story about how it ended up in need and the happy ending that hopefully greets them at the end of their journey. She's been transporting dogs since 2002. This book tells the story of several dogs which Deborah picked up from shelters and helped to relocate to loving homes. She dedicates the book to a long list of names of dogs which she helped rescue and to all the homeless pets who weren't so fortunate.

Often arriving the same day the animals were scheduled to be euthanized, Deborah tells the "tales" of neglected animals who are frightened and often in shock. Society has given up on them and their sad eyes are begging for a second chance. A hand to lick, a bowl of food, a comfortable bed, a pat on the rump and a scratch on the chin, all these dogs crave is love. Deborah is like a guardian angel arriving just in time.dogpic1

A book like this would not be complete without photos to accompany each story. Oreo, Hooch, Shyla, Sophie and her pups, Dusty, Annie, and many more....there are some sad memorial pictures of dogs that have passed on but for the most part, all of the dogs show life in their eyes and a big panting smile across their mouth. They know they've been given a second chance.

Of course, a book like this doesn't end here. I'm sure there have been many more journeys for Deborah and for even more dogs that have been rescued thanks to her. And we can help! Proceeds from the sale of her book go to help Dogs Deserve Better.dogpic2

Bravo to this author for using Lulu to bring attention to a good cause and for giving back in more ways than one!

An Inspiration

I've never written a review, but this book inspired me like no other...

Like others - I laughed, and I cried - but most importantly - I became part of the solution. As involved as I have been in rescue orgs., never did I realize such an easy opportunity to help existed.

The author has so accurately described the reality of the simple things that we all can do to make a difference, and the 'instant gratification' that comes with it... For anyone who loves animals, and has ever wondered "But, what can I do?" - "Every Dog Has It's Tale" has the answers.

Awesome writing, heart-warming stories (and pics), and an absolute MUST READ for anyone that loves the true innocents...

By far, the most inspiring book I have ever read...

A Lovely Book About Second Chances for Animals

Each chapter in this wonderful book is a tale of one or more dogs rescued from a variety of situations, from being chained and starving in an owner's backyard to getting them out of a kill shelter moments before they are gassed. How are they rescued? By a network of volunteer "angels" along the Dog Rescue Railroad that Deborah Eades writes about in her book, Every Rescued Dog Has a Tale. I was touched by the stories of the many dogs rescued over the years thanks to the efforts and commitment by these dedicated volunteers who drive a leg of a journey each weekend in this country to rescue dogs who would otherwise be killed. Deborah Eades is one of these incredible volunteers, and the proceeds from her delightful book go to animal shelters and rescue groups. The author's wish is that many of us who read her stories of hope will volunteer with a dog transport group in our area to save even more lives. This book is so uplifting in that it shows what one person can do to make a huge difference--the difference between life and death--for a dog. This beautiful book is about second chances for animals that need people like those on The Dog Rescue Railroad--and like you and me--to give the gift of life simply by say "yes" to a 50 to 100 mile drive. You can find more detail about the best ways to do this and how it works at the end of her book. According to Deborah, "the fulfillment you get from helping these pitiful animals is priceless, and it is so easy to do."

Good read for dog lovers

As a dog lover, I enjoyed this book and was impressed with the fact that a portion of the proceeds were going to various rescue efforts.Every Rescued Dog Has a Tale: Stories from the Dog Rescue Railroad

Not just another book about dogs, but a collection of stories, with adorable photos, of many homeless dogs who were scheduled to die in shelters around the country. They were saved from euthanasia by a group of volunteers with the Dog Rescue Railroad - an informal group of hundreds of thousands of internet users who get dogs out of shelters and then drive a leg of a trip from one state to another where the dog will be or already has been adopted. Some of these stories are heartbreaking, and some will make you split your sides laughing at what can happen in a car with a dog if you are not prepared. This book will reaffirm your faith in the goodness of people who spend their weekends doing their small part to help the millions of dogs in animal shelters across this country. Maybe you might want to try it yourself. There is a detailed section in the back that gives you information on how to volunteer.
