Many children end up in foster care for one reason or another, despite efforts by child welfare organizations to keep families together. This book helps children explore their feelings about being in foster care, and their experiences with trouble within their family.

The book is narrated by Drew Bees, a dog who finds himself in foster care. Its purpose is to get children to discuss difficult things that Drew Bees describes as the "ruff stuff." In the end, it gives them hope that, no matter their circumstances, there are people who will talk with them about their feelings, and there is always hope for a better life.

About the Author

Wendy Recktenwald has worked in the addictions and education field for over 30 years in different professional capacities. For the past 25 years she has worked for a college in Western New York and oversees all human resources and employee relations. Wendy holds a master's degree in Human Resources and Organizational Development, and a degree in Psychology. Wendy is a co-author of a workbook called "The First 45 Days," helping both new addiction counselors and patients organize and guide their recovery trajectory. Wendy has volunteered in animal rescue since 1983, and this book was an opportunity to meld both worlds. As a boots-on-the-ground rescue worker, she has been present at many large and small animal rescues over the years, and has noticed that children are acutely aware of the situations they live in. Both animals and children end up in foster care through no fault of their own. Wendy's family consists of a school counselor, a school social worker, a school psychologist, a police sergeant, and a wine maker. Family dinners often include discussions on how to make the world a better place. This book is the start of many discussions of how animals can help heal children.
