Synopsis

Over the past decade, Kathy Callahan's family has taken in more than 150 rescue puppies. This engaging, photo-filled book features the wonderful stories that emerge as these foster pups, typically from underfunded rural shelters, are suddenly surrounded by a nurturing family complete with generous-spirited adult dogs and curious cats. With a gift for capturing the moment in both words and images, Callahan brings readers inside the delightful, moving, and ultimately uplifting work of fostering.

Callahan didn't set out to become "the puppy lady," but, as she explains: "Somebody had surrendered a mother dog, Nala, and her less-than-a-month-old pups at the local shelter. I thought about that exhausted nursing mom who'd been caring for those seven puppies around the clock, only to find herself suddenly homeless. There are a lot of terrible things that happen in life, and I can't do a darned thing about most of them. It struck me that this was a tiny little tragedy in my corner of the world that our family could remedy."

This inspiring read is indeed about puppies, but it's also about family, and human connection. It's about finding your own way -- through that one special thing you can do to light a light, instead of cursing the darkness.
