Synopsis:

A fascinating look at rescue dogs--where they come from, why every dog lover should consider adopting one, and how to make them part of your family.

America's leading undercover animal investigator, Pete Paxton, has, among other exploits, infiltrated more than seven hundred puppy mills, worked undercover to close one of the largest and most infamous puppy mills in the United States, and shuttered the most notorious trafficker of dogs for experimentation in history. In this book, he shares stories of the amazing dogs he has rescued and brought to loving families, and also offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone living with rescue dogs.

Far too many people think rescue dogs have irredeemable anxieties, behavior issues, or other problems. In truth, rescue dogs can--and do--become wonderful companions. This groundbreaking book will help readers understand these dogs' unique ways of thinking, learning, and loving, and leaves no questions unanswered about the plight of dogs commercially bred in the United States--and what every dog lover can do about it.

About the Author: Pete Paxton (a pseudonym to protect his identity) is nationally recognized as the leading undercover investigator and rescuer of dogs in peril. His work has been featured by HBO, National Geographic, NPR, Time, and more. He works with major advocacy organizations such as the Companion Animal Protection Society, Mercy for Animals, the Human Society of the United States, and many others.

Gene Stone has written, co-written, or ghost-written forty-five books (fifteen of which were national bestsellers), specializing, over the last decade, on plant-based diets and their effect on health, animal protection, and the environment. These include such books as Forks Over Knives, Eat for the Planet, The Engine 2 Diet (with Rip Esselstyn), How Not to Die (with Dr. Michael Greger), and Living the Farm Sanctuary Life (with Gene Baur).
