Love at First Bark: How Saving a Dog Can Sometimes Help You Save Yourself
Author: Julie Klam
Paperback: 192 pages
Publisher: Riverhead Trade (October 2, 2012)
ISBN-10: 1594486158
ISBN-13: 978-1594486159

Book Description:
With wit and warmth, Julie Klam chronicles her adventures in finding a home for the world’s sweetest pit bull, fostering a photogenic special-needs terrier, and diving under a train to save an injured stray in New Orleans. Along the way, she finds that helping dogs in their fight to survive puts our own problems in perspective, and shows that caring for others, be they canine or human, can sometimes be the best way to care for ourselves. A hilarious and moving testament to the powerful bond between people and dogs, this is a book for anyone whose life has been changed—for the better—by an animal.

Idgie Says:
What more can I say, a slim book - perfect for the purse or bedtime reading - extolling the wonders of dogs and the love and comfort they can provide.  How they can make you a better person just by being in your life.  Stories that make you tear up and then smile.  

I love the book for the big-nosed puppy on the front cover!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
