Despite an upsurge in rescue dog adoptions over the past decade, myths often prevail, keeping potential owners in the dark about the joys of adoption: Something's wrong with the dog; he was dumped for being bad; he's sick, mean, abused or unable to bond with the owner; you don't know what you're getting. Debunking these tired, old myths is this inspiring collection of "55 reasons to adopt a rescue dog," dramatic firsthand accounts from Good Dog Rescue adopters whose lives have been transformed by the love of a rescue dog.
