One Hundred Dogs & Counting by Cara Sue Achterberg, Simon & Schuster, 2020 After opening her house, her heart and her home to fostering 162 dogs and writing several books, Cara Sue Achterberg has plenty to share with her readers about the world of dog rescue. In this book, Cara Sue will be your guide on her selfless 10,000 mile educational journey looking for some answers to this ever growing problem of dogs in need. Traveling from shelters to res-
cues she meets remarkable dogs and incredible rescuers pouring their hearts and souls into helping the helpless. You will read about the ups and downs of running a rescue, the financial burdens, the stories behind some of the dogs she meets along the way, and the
good hearted souls that truly care about helping dogs. This is certainly a worthy read, the writing is passionate and
heartfelt. You will feel like you are there on this trip. It will pos- sibly inspire you to learn more; perhaps volunteer in your local area, hold your own fundraiser, consider fostering; or even join an organization to help make some kind of difference. ––Review by Jacqui Silla

Brodymonster by Liz Maritz -
LizMaritz.com, 2020 Is there such a thing as a “terrible” terrier? And, if you are per- fectionist, do you think you’ll find the perfect dog in a Wire Fox Terrier? Certain dogs comes into our lives for a reason. After making a bet with her husband, Liz Maritz began researching for the perfect breed of dog. Countless emails to various breed- ers across the country led Liz and her husband to meet with the breeder of Wire Fox Terriers about an hour from their home. They selected a puppy described by the breeder as “show- quality with champion lineage.” Even with all of her research and
pre-planning, though, Brody changed Liz’s plans for having a perfect dog. He had plenty of medical mishaps and, as she describes, behavioral issues. The reasons seem to jump off the pages as to why. Add a home purchase, renovations and a baby to the equation and there is potential for mishap, or worse. BrodyMonster is a very personal story about the love
between a dog and his humans. Dogs remind us that life is not perfect in our sense of the word. “Sometimes, chaos can beautifully fill the crack in our
well-controlled plans, in a strange way perfecting them with humor and irony. Chaos makes life less robotic and predictable as it challenges our concept of perfection. Brody reflects me at my most sincere and most imperfect,” writes Liz. “I love him for his flaws too.”
