Zoe was given to me by a rescue org because she was backyard bred and every female in the litter had a heart murmur. The mother died shortly after delivery. Zoe was shy, she hid behind trees rather than have a photo taken. She was sweet and lovable. She lived 4.5 years. In my heart are all the dogs I've ever known, rescued, volunteered and met, saved being an ACO. They are all never to be forgotten. This book is my heart. Most of the stories are not entirely fictitious, as an author I took liberties with the truth. When Risa receives a mysterious book from the Rainbow Bridge Committee, the shelter worker is thrust into the life of stories from a litter of ten German shepherd puppies. This is the story of their life journeys from birth, to their home lives, and on to the Rainbow Bridge to await their owners so they can continue their spiritual journey together. Read about the backyard dog Helga's ten pups, their personalities as they develop and her hopes for their future. The stories are filled with life, life as a dog sees their world. Filled with humorous adventures, courageous acts of selflessness and much love. The author volunteered over twenty five years for rescue orgs., shelters and spent five years as an animal control officer. The story of an ACO is the Lions, Elephants & Bears. She is the author of 4 novels. p you wake up other people this is the book that can do that for you. It has magic and will fill your soul with it. This book is for people who are unafraid of changing the world simply by changing one dog's life. Happy reading to you. The writer was an animal control officer who spent over 30 years with her own pack of German shepherds, as an owner, a foster parent for rescues, and a volunteer at shelters. If anyone can speak from the dog's point of view this is the writer who'll open your eyes.
