This book is not fiction, though the situation sounds like it should be. David Rosenfelt, the author of the Andy Carpenter series and his wife started rescuing dogs while they lived in Southern California. I think the largest group they had at one time was 39. Thirty-nine dogs! They took golden retrievers along with other larger dogs from shelters before they would have been euthanized. Some of them were then adopted by others, who were carefully screened to make sure the dog would be in a good home. The rest were theirs. They decided to move to Maine. To get there they used 3 RVs, 11 people and 25 dogs. It was mind boggling! In between the narrative of the move, he wrote short chapters on some of the dogs they have had over the years. I love his voice with all the self-deprecating humor and obvious love for the dogs. It was a very funny book with a lot of sweetness thrown in. Kudos to David Rosenfelt and his wife, Debbie Myers. You will enjoy going on the road with the âWoofabagosâ!
