Zheutlin finally gave in and got a dog—Albie, a rescue Lab—and in so doing, he and his wife uncovered a world of people, online and in real life, who dedicate their time and money to matching unwanted dogs with their "Forever Families." To learn more about these potentially unloved and sometimes abused dogs and their tireless rescuers, Zheutlin spent a year on the road—some 7,000 miles—ferrying dogs to new homes with Greg Mahle, who runs the Rescue Road Trips organization. Filled with interviews with vets, volunteers, and Mahle as the men ferry the dogs cross-country, this heartwarming book also details the many organizations that assist in dog rescues (with contact information appended), the difficulties and joys of matching dogs and new owners, and much more. Mostly, though, it's a road trip like no other as Mahle and Zheutlin pilot a 12-wheel rig filled with dogs. Pet lovers and potential dog owners will find much to enjoy in this educational, touching tale. A portion of all proceeds from sales of the book go to Greg Mahle's Rescue Road Trips.
