by Joyce Darrell

Extraordinary Dogs: Inspirational Stories of Dogs with Disabilities Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"There is something so humbling about a little creature with a disability that asks for nothing but love, and gives it back in multitudes. They never complain about their situation . . . they just live with it and love life."
—Barb Thrasher, BONES Pet Rescue
 
Auggie appeared to be a klutzy puppy, always bumping into walls. Really, he was born blind and could only see shadows. Emmy Lou, a kind-spirited hunting dog, was shot by a hunter and could never use her hind legs again. Jinx, a rambunctious three-legged terrier mix, was dumped and abandoned on the side of the road. Despite the difficult hardships these pups faced, they were still able to find families who accepted and loved them unconditionally.
Extraordinary Dogs is a compilation of fifty heartwarming, against-all-odds profiles of dogs with disabilities who all share an unwavering zest for life. Each dog's one-of-a-kind story will no doubt win you over, paws down.

Synopsis:

Many dog owners consider their playful pups to be members of their families, but sometimes things go wrong: an accident, bone deterioration from old age, or a puppy born with a birth defect. People often think the worst—that they have no other choice but to put the dog down. Extraordinary Dogs proves that with a little patience and a lot of heart, these dogs and their owners can still enjoy meaningful lives together. It’s just a matter of giving them a chance.

Pet owners—and those considering dog adoption—will learn through various heartfelt and inspirational doggie profiles that these dogs do make phenomenal pets.
