Dogs as pets; Travel writing

"The extraordinary story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect and give them a second chance at life and love.

How far would you go to

save a life? This is the extraordinary

story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue

thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect and give them a second

chance at life and love.

For years, Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last

of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was

broke and unsure what to do next. Then a

stranded van-load of puppies changed his life forever.

Join journalist Peter

Zheutlin as he travels with Greg from Ohio to the Gulf Coast on his Rescue Road

Trips to bring hard-luck dogs from

the deep South to loving ""forever

families"" up north looking to adopt a pet, with the help of many

selfless volunteers along the way. From Houston's impoverished Fifth Ward--where

thousands of strays roam the streets--and high-kill animal shelters in

Louisiana, to joyous scenes of adopters embracing their new pups in the

Northeast, Rescue Road is full of heart- an

inspiring story about the unique bond between dogs and humans, and how

going the extra mile can make a life-changing difference for these loyal

canines-and for us all.

A heartwarming,

awe-inspiring story of how one man can impact so many lives, human and puppy alike.

Fans of Marley and Me, Oogy- The Dog Only A Family Could Love, and You Had Me

At Woof will be inspired and touched by this story."
