Losing your heart to dogs. And your head. And your wallet.

A Small Furry Prayer: Dog Rescue and the Meaning of Life
by Stephen Kotler

I don't know what to say. The humans are endearingly, brokenly human. The dogs are adorably broken and almost always fixable...and of course they're dogs, which makes them practically perfect in every way.  And what's not to love about a lifestyle that typically involves stepping in poop every morning?

This book will break your heart in many ways...but only once, during his descriptions of puppy mills, did I have to skip forward.  He doesn't typically dwell on the dark side-this is a book about hope, love, and hospice care. For dogs.

Also the story of dachshund play hour is hilarious.
