"On the road with 25 rescue dogs . . . what could go wrong?" So begins "The Puppy Express" which is the British version of the book "Dog Tripping". This is the real life experience of David Rosenfelt and his wife Debbie Myers trying to move with their family of rescue dogs from CA to ME. Many of you probably know David Rosenfelt from his Andy Carpenter fictional mysteries and his stand alones.
Well, in real life he is every bit as funny and endearing as Andy Carpenter. After much planning and worrying the family plus assorted friends and helpers start out cross country in 3 RV's with 25 large dogs, mostly older or handicapped in some way. David seems to be the only one worried - everyone else is having the time of their lives. The dogs are loving it and contributing to many moments of excitement along the way. In between travel scenes, we learn about the various dogs and how they came to be with David and Debbie, and about their experiences and feelings with their dog rescue work.
I enjoyed the book immensely and would recommend it to anyone looking for a smile, a chuckle and even a few tears. And, of course, ALL dog lovers.
