I have a good dog book to recommend today. "Saving Sadie" tells the story of a woman who found an abused dog that no one wanted. Together, they have made a difference in many lives.
One day Joal Derse Dauer was delivering some blankets for the animal shelter to use. She saw a dog who was badly injured, and this dog touched her heart.
Upon examining the dog and learning more about her, Joal discovered that Sadie had been shot, and Sadie was now unable to use her back legs and was incontinent. Joal decided to take Sadie to the veterinarian just to see if anything could be done. Most of the vet's recommended putting Sadie to sleep, but one veterinarian gave Joal and Sadie some hope.
The author began a long process of working with Sadie in the hope of getting Sadie to be able to walk again. In order to help defray the great expenses of helping Sadie, the author set up some fundraising mechanisms and spread the word about Sadie's fight for recovery.
I don't want to give away too much of the story. Let me say that Sadie and Joal have reached out to help others. Sadie works to encourage others with disabilities by going into schools where Joal gives a presentation about overcoming and about the need to stop bullying.
I thought that "Saving Sadie" was a very good book. It is an inspiring story that I am sure all dog lovers will want to read.
