Memoirs; Coping with illness; Dogs as pets

A new memoir from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Dog Lived (And So Will I)

We rescue dogs and bring them into our lives...and often they rescue us in return. What would cause a cheese-loving, meat-eating lawyer to become a vegan? Her dog. Teresa Rhyne and Seamus the beagle both survived cancer once, so when Seamus develops yet another cancer, Teresa vows to fight again. She finds better food for Seamus, and a plant-based diet becomes her own guide, but she realized that's not enough for her-and it's not enough for the animals.

As she searches for a more compassionate lifestyle, she struggles to find her place somewhere between a hypocrite in leather high heels and a hippie in a hemp skirt, all while coping with the threat of Seamus slipping away.

When she encounters two other dogs who need help, including one rescued from animal testing, turning away seems impossible after everything she's discovered. Will turning her life upside down to rescue two more beagles be the best medicine for everyone?

An honest, funny book about dogs, relationships and surviving life's challenges with humor and grace is perfect for fans of Marley and Me, The Middle Place and A Dog's Purpose will love this touching memoir.

Reviews for The Dogs Were Rescued (And So Was I)

THE DOGS WERE RESCUED is a love letter to our animals, to who they are and who they make us want to be. Teresa has written a wonderfully funny story about change, transformation and unexpected second acts. She also reminds us of what her beagles always knew; love deeply, move forward, and never turn down a snack. - Quinn Cummings, author of The Year of Learning Dangerously and Pet Sounds
