4 The Love Of Animals

OCTOBER 8, 2010

A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. It took nine years for my picture book, THE BLUE HOUSE DOG, (Peachtree Publishers/August 1, 2010) to come out. The boy was wounded by his loss, just as the homeless dog was wounded when his owner died.

It’s the small local or shelters and organizations that are really struggling right now. We hope that you will consider donating time, goods, or money, to your local rescue/shelter to help homeless pets. NEW LIVES: Stories of Rescued Dogs Helping, Healing and Giving Hope originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on August 16, 2010.

These dogs are homeless through no fault of their own, and by rescuing one of them, you may just save their life. If you’re going to adopt a shelter dog, it’s important that you do your homework beforehand, so you choose the right dog for your family. Be realistic about your lifestyle.
