"The senior dog set out into his backyard to have some fun. Before he knew it, everything around him changed. As the day turned into night, he became scared and started barking softly which grew into loud, panic barks. A strange man then approached him and placed him in an unmarked van. Where was the man taking him? What's happening? What this little dog didn't know is that his life was going to different now. Very different indeed." Follow him on his incredible journey . . . Catherine became aware from volunteering at rescues and shelters around the country that senior, black furred and special need pets are often overlooked for adoption. Many of these pets are brought in as strays. Severe kennel stress can prevent a pet from being adopted indefinitely. Catherine wanted to share what she learned from the shelter staff on how to keep pets safe and from becoming a stray like the senior dog in her story. Her mission was trying to reduce the number of the strays that enter shelters every day just by the unique feature in her book.
