Gabby the Rescue Dog

Book Cover & Preview Text
In Valentine I remember people looking at me and remarking about my big teeth and how they scared them. Maybe that is why no-one would adopt me. The longer I stayed , the more worried I got that nobody wanted me. When people visited, I was always friendly and tried to convince them that I would be just right for their family. That just did not seem to work. I made friends with all the workers but that was different from having a real family to love me and want me with them. I grew bigger and stronger and becoming more like an adult dog than a puppy. If people did not want me as a puppy, who would want me as a full grown dog. Even though I spent my life around other dogs and some cats, I never had a chance to make friends. Often, they would not be around long enough before they moved on. I often wondered what it would be like to have a family of my own, and how wonderful that would be for me.

About the Author
This book is very personal for me, and though I added fiction to it, it closely resembles my experience with my own rescue dog and how she eventually found her way into our home and our hearts. This book imagines some of the feelings and experiences that Gabby the Rescue dog went through in over one and a half years in shelters. It also touches on that wonderful moment for her when she found her forever home.
