Have you ever heard of the underground railroad -- the network of humanitarian, and like-minded people who helped slaves escape during the United States Civil War?

Did you know that today there is a network like it for dogs?

Deborah Eades is a volunteer transporter for the Dog Rescue Railroad, and her book, "Every Rescued Dog Has a Tale" tells the stories of some of the dogs that were rescued from death row at dog pounds across the country, and how they were transported to safety and new forever homes.

The stories are short and accompanied by photos of the dogs. Suitable reading for tweens to adults, one of the best things about this book is that proceeds from its sales benefit various humane groups.

I remember well reading this book and wondering what motivates this woman (the author)to be out on the road at night, alone in her car, with her dog passenger? As the series of true stories continued, I learned of the multitude of abused and suffering dogs who are rescued only through the dedicated, caring efforts of dog lovers. As Deborah Eades shared her experiences, including the usually happy outcomes, I came to understand the motivation and rewards. This book will touch the heart of dog lovers.

This short book tells the story of about 17 dogs (or groups of dogs) which the author met while working as a transporter for various dog rescue organizations. Each story includes photos of the dogs, what was known about their origins, how the dog was rescued and information when available on the dogs ultimate forever home. For readers unfamiliar with these wonderful volunteers and the Dog Rescue Railroad, this book will be of interest.

Deborah is just another dedicated member of the dog rescue "family" and it was a pleasure to read her stories and see all the cutie pies she helped on their journey to their forever homes.
