BEST BIOGRAPHY: 2021 Best Book Awards (American Book Fest) and FINALIST: 2021 Best Book Awards’ animals/pets narrative nonfiction; 2021 Colorado Book Awards' biography; & 2021 Colorado Authors League Awards of Excellence biography/memoir.
Nearly one hundred Labrador retrievers, many sick or dying, are discovered one hot summer day in a rural Colorado field. They’ve been abandoned by Dodie Cariaso, a college-educated woman from an upper-middle-class Midwestern family.
What drove this tragedy? Former journalist and prosecutor Cary Unkelbach unfolds a riveting account of how Dodie’s early success as a talented potter devolves into unimaginable neglect. Along the way, Cary gives animal lovers everywhere insight into the pitfalls and responsibilities of dog ownership through uplifting tales of Max, a Labrador from Dodie’s kennel, who finds his forever home with the author’s family.
Heartbreak Kennel will shock you but will also give you a wealth of information for the canines in your life.
Praise for Heartbreak Kennel:
“Cary Unkelbach has told a true story, as suspenseful as any mystery, as emotional as a romance novel, and as intense as her sense of justice . . .” —Julie Sturman, Julie Brown’s Directory to Labrador Retriever Pedigrees 1971-2010 and AKC Breeder of Merit
“Cary’s extensive experience as a prosecutor and civil trial attorney is reflected in her writing style and presentation of this meticulously researched and engrossing true story.” —Thomas J. Curry, District Court Judge (Retired), 18th Judicial District, Colorado
“Fast-paced book . . . reads like a novel . . . If everyone read this book before they adopt or buy their next canine, I might be able to retire from the world of dog rescue!” —Polly Kruse, Safe Harbor Lab Rescue board member and Labrador owner
