This is not a book for the sensitive or tender-hearted. There is a frank listing in the first part of the book of the ways shelter dogs whose time has run out have been euthanized, and I had to shut off the audiobook and finish my drive home in tears.

So, if you're of stout heart and would like to know more about the person who drives dogs from high-kill shelters in the southern U.S. to waiting rescue homes in the Northeast, this is the book for you. (And if anyone wants to read it and tell me on what page it's safe to start reading again, I will check out the paper copy and finish it, because I know there's a happy ending waiting for so, so many dogs.)
