Editorial Reviews

Review

In this book, you find over 30 short accounts of people who have a rescued Boston Terrier. Some stories are fun and some serious. Several stories relate the awful thing about puppy mills and what happens to dogs there where they are used to breed purebred dogs and then they either die, or are abandoned or worse, once they are no longer of any use to the people who run these awful places. Many of the stories are heartwarming and funny. All in all, the stories give people the idea of how wonderful these little dogs are and how important it is that everyone remembers that there are so many dogs that need to be rescued and adopted.
One of the stories, Eyes Only For You, tells about how an owner connects with his rescue dog just from the friendly eyes he sees when he meets her. In a sad story with a happy ending Foster Failure tells of a dog that nobody wanted and was taken in at a foster puppy home only to find the foster parents fell in love with the dog and wound up adopting him. This family gave a home to the poor dog who had lived such an awful life in a puppy mill. A few pages such as A Snort Break give a few sentences telling happy tails or funny moments about different Terriers.
I believe that a book like this would open any one's eyes to the importance of choosing a rescue dog when the opportunity arises. As different books on different breeds are written and read, I imagine even more breeds of dogs will be better off and more dogs adopted. Perhaps you might have a rescue dog story of your own or may want to adopt a rescue dog after reading about these great animals and all they go through. --Karen Haney, Bookin With Bingo

MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue was excited for the opportunity to partner with Happy Tails Books for their Boston Terrier book. It gave our members the opportunity to share how great life is with their new companions. --Jennifer Misfeldt, MABTR President

This book, and the ones that are to follow, will, I believe, fill a void in the current availability of reading material, showing the reality of some dogs' lives and how they--and the lives of humans--can be turned around with just a bit of awareness and attention. --Julie Tinker

5.0 out of 5 stars All dog lovers should read this book!, July 30, 2009
This review is from: Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspirational Stories of Adopted Boston Terriers (Paperback)
The stories of the Boston Terriers in this book are really heartwarming. It is wonderful to read about the Boston's lives who were saved by kindhearted, patient, loving people. The antics of the Boston's had me laughing out loud. Anyone who loves dogs will appreciate this book. This book is a real tribute to dogs everwhere. There are so many Bostons in the stories who were really misused, and yet they forgave humans and learned to love their people in spite of all the bad things that had happened to them. These stories are bound to help people to understand that a resuce dog is a great option and that they should take a chance on adopting one. Boston Terriers are certianly a loving breed, and this book helps that shine through.

This review is from: Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspirational Stories of Adopted Boston Terriers (Paperback)

I agree, this book has touched my heart and my soul. I was so anxious to get my copy of this book. When I did, I sat down, began reading the many heart warming stories of these rescued Boston Terriers, including the story of Cricket, our Boston Terrier who we rescued from NEBTr. Before I knew it I was at the last page wanting to read more stories of such wonderful adoptions. Many of the stories although sad all had a happy ending. I highly suggest purchasing this book! Not only will the purchase go towards a contribution in helping Boston Terrier rescue groups all over, it will help you come to realize that adopting a rescued 'innocent' will make a world of difference in your life as well. Pick-up a copy, sit down, read and enjoy!

Joyce and Cricket
