I remember watching Dogtown. "Dogtown is the section of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary where homeless dogs live, and it is also a highly popular TV series. For four seasons, the television program "DogTown" aired on the National Geographic Channel. The documentary aired for the first time on January 4, 2008, and last aired an original episode on March 12, 2010."
This book was written so some of the proceeds could help support the Best Friends Animal Society.
The book is a collection of short stories about dogs that were rescued. Some come from horrific situations like dog fighting ring and puppy mills and some were just found. Some of the stories are hard to read but necessary to tell so you can see what the dog has gone through in order to appreciate the rehabilitation and redemption part of the tale even more. I enjoyed what few pictures there were but would have like more, especially one of the Sanctuary itself.
