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.\nFor 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.\nJoin 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.\nA 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.\nWhat readers are saying about Rescue Road:\n\"I stand in awe of those who can do this kind of rescue work, for their persistence, compassion and willingness to get dirty in the service of animals.\"\n\"a heartwarming \u0026amp; eye opening journey into the world of dog rescue.\"\n\"I highly recommend this book if you are looking to restore your faith in humanity.\"\n\"a heart-warming story that reaffirms there are many compassionate people who work tirelessly to save dogs.\"\nWhat reviewers are saying about Rescue Road:\n\"An unabashedly sentimental and affecting portrait of a modern-day animal-loving hero.\" - Kirkus\n\"a canine caravan with heart and soul…\" - Teresa Rhyne, author of the #1 NYT bestseller The Dog Lived (And So Will I)\n\"Heartwarming doesn't suffice to describe it… restores faith in humanity.\" - Alexandra Horowitz, author of Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know\n\"A tender, inspiring homage…\" - Matthew Gilbert, author of Off the Leash: A Year at the Dog Park\n\"Inspiring and riveting new book...a must-read...\" - The Bark\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1492614076\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1492614076.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zheutlin, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
