Love at First Bark

This is Annie.

Four years ago, we adopted Annie from the DFW Lab Rescue organization. 

She was an older dog (not a puppy), with an unknown past, 

but she'd obviously had training, she sat on command, shook hands, 

walked well on a leash, and was house-broken. 

She's the best decision we've ever made! 

Don't underestimate the power of a pet in your life!

I grew up on a ranch around tons of animals, 

and when we adopted Annie, 

it was finally my chance to share a love of animals with my boys.  

And love Annie they do. 

I was excited when I had a chance to read and review Love at First Bark 

by Julie Klam for BlogHer Book Club and Penguin Books.  

The author shares a few of her rescue stories and bits about her life.

It's a quick, easy read, especially if you like dogs, and I enjoyed it.  

But, I'll admit, no matter how huge a dog lover I am...

I don't understand the passion and energy some people put into animal rescues. 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE animals, 

but I've never felt the need to do so much for them on the same level as the author.

However, when you decide to get a pet, please adopt!
There are so many animals out there who need homes.
Rescued animals have lived a harder life and need love.
Donate, adopt, foster.
