This book contains over 50 heart-warming short stories and anecdotes about Golden Retrievers who were once in dire straits but have since been united with humans who love them more than anything. The stories lead you down a twisting and turning road of emotion, exposing the misery of neglect, the selflessness of rescue and the joy these rehabilitated “Golden souls” bring to their new families. You’re sure to laugh and cry – and if you’ve had your own Golden you’re in for some “mine does that too!” moments.
The people behind this "Lost Souls" series of books are really smart: they work with breed-specific rescue groups to call for story submissions. After receiving over a hundred stories for each book, they select and edit the ones that provide the most interesting information about the breed and about rescue and tell an interesting “tail.” Then, when the books are sold, the rescue groups that helped collect stories receive a significant portion of proceeds as a donation each year. It's a win-win: the rescue groups receive much-needed funding and exposure and Happy Tails Books gets to inspire people to fight against animal cruelty and adopt their next pet.
Are you looking for ways you can help fight America’s animal overpopulation problem? Please spay or neuter your dogs, boycott stores that sell live animals, volunteer your time and resources to rescue organizations and tell your friends and family about the joy adopted dogs bring to their new homes.
