Despite an upsurge in rescue dog adoptions over the past decade, myths often prevail, keeping potential owners in the dark about the joys of adoption: Something's wrong with the dog; he was dumped for being bad; he's sick, mean, abused or unable to bond with the owner; you don't know what you're getting. Debunking these tired, old myths is this inspiring collection of "55 reasons to adopt a rescue dog," dramatic firsthand accounts from Good Dog Rescue adopters whose lives have been transformed by the love of a rescue dog. From everyday blessings to life altering miracles, these stories confirm what many of us have always known: dogs are the ultimate gift, sent here to help us on our journey. You'll meet Luke, the lab puppy who helped mend a little boy's broken heart; Megan the young hound who cured her dog-brother from severe anxiety; Samson the rescued GSD puppy who comforted his adopter after the death of her mother; Emma the hound puppy who helped her owner recover from depression; Bella the young stray who finally found her forever family after seven homes; and 50 other awesome dogs you'll never forget. Filled with heartwarming anecdotes and beautiful photographs, What a Good Dog reminds us that we'll always have joy in our lives as long as we have dogs by our sides.
