Pretty cute, huh?
A new book called New Lives: Stories of Rescued Dogs Helping, Healing and Giving Hope tells the stories of abused dogs who were rescued and went on to become “working” dogs–helping the elderly, disabled, and others.
The author, Joanne Wannan, says she was inspired to write it by her “firm belief that all animals deserve respect and are worthy of a second chance.”
It seems like an incredibly poignant subject–and a remarkable one, too: dogs that not only are rescued and recover from abuse, but also go on to help others.

Interesting. No doubt there are many anthropomorphic interpretations to the story.
Speaking of books on animals, I was just given as a gift the book “Walk in the Woods.” It was written by Bill Bryson and has a big bear on the front and will no doubt have many animals stories of adventure and redemption.
The reviews look pretty good:
Your initial reaction to Bill Bryson’s reading of A Walk in the Woods may well be “Egads! What a bore!”
But by sentence three or four, his clearly articulated, slightly adenoidal, British/American-accented speech pattern begins to grow on you and becomes quite engaging. You immediately get a hint of the humor that lies ahead, such as one of the innumerable reasons he longed to walk as many of the 2,100 miles of the Appalachian Trail as he could.
“It would get me fit after years of waddlesome sloth” is delivered with glorious deadpan flair. By the time our storyteller recounts his trip to the Dartmouth Co-op, suffering serious sticker shock over equipment prices, you’ll be hooked.
