Second Chances: More Tales of Found Dogs
Millions of dogs and puppies are abandoned each year, resulting in a world filled with stray dogs of all breeds and sizes. Many of these strays come to a bad end, but every now and then a stray dog is found by a compassionate person--whether picked up on the street or picked out from an animal shelter--and given a second chance.

\ From the Publisher"Tales of Strays Who Landed on Their Feet (1-59228-140-0, $19.95) by Elise Lufkin with photos by Diana Walker is a collection of short pieces about people's experiences rescuing dogs from miserable existences. While the stories end happily, the depth of feeling from the people narrating their tales brings tears to the eyes." --Publishers Weekly's \ "Second Chances: More Found Dogs is one of those transcendent books that clearly shows the big division of the human race--those who understand animals and those who can't or won't. Each story in these pages is a mini morality tale, through which we meet some very interesting people from all walks of life who look with empathy beyond their own kind, give generously asking nothing in return, and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Published in time for Christmas, this book represents the true spirit of Christmas. All pet owners should read it. Animal lovers will love it."-- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas\ \ \ \
