Unforgettable Mutts: Pure of Heart; Not of Breed by Karen Derrico

by Karen Derrico

Unforgettable Mutts speaks on behalf of the millions of loving and deserving dogs who may never have a chance simply because they have no pedigree. According to The Humane Society of the United States, approximately 75% of all dogs entering U.S. animal shelters each year are mixed-breed. While some are adopted, tragically one to two million mutts are euthanized every year. This startling statistic is fueled in part by the long-standing misconception that if a dog doesn't have a pedigree than he or she must be somehow defective. But as author, Karen Derrico clearly illustrates, nothing could be further from the truth. Page after page of Unforgettable Mutts proves that it's a dog's personality, not the pedigree, that matters.
