#readingchallenge2019 (my audio book series)

Not what I expected, it pains me to rate so low-but this was not a cohesive novel. The stories were blog-like anecdotes about dogs he’s met, and there wasn’t a lot of focus on the learned aspect.
There weren’t some large summary insights into shelters, fostering, or collected experiences of owning dogs-it’s just stories lacking sustenance. He’s a sweet guy, but a bit misguided for someone pushing a large message. Very thin and vague after thoughts.

how easy was this book for me to read? essays about how dogs change our lives -- i'm all over it! foster writes about his dogs Brando, Zephyr and Sula with compassion and honesty. each of them has his/her own unique story of how they came to be in foster's home and heart. it reminds me of my many mutts that we've rescued and loved over the years. now that my dogs are getting older, it made me remember each of their rescue stories with fondness. it seems as if my dogs have always been in my life - even when they began their lives with someone else. eager to read more of his essays.

As a dog lover and supporter of rescue dog groups and adoptions, I found this book to be heartwarming. It's a great reminder of how bonded we become with our canine friends and vice verse. Ken has an uncanny connection to dogs and uses it for the better good in case after case.
