So, as most of my readers know, I am part of a blogging network, and, through said network, a book club. Well, recently, I participated in a group reading for Julie Klam's 'Love at First Bark'.
**Requisite disclaimer: I was compensated for this BlogHer Book Club review, but, like everything found on this blog, the opinions expressed in said post are my own.
Anyhow - moving right along. The author discusses three separate instances in which she went through moderate to great lengths to rescue/foster dogs in need. She seems like an easy victim to every dog in need that crosses her path, although that certainly isn't a bad quality. (No judgment.)
Overall, I found the author's writing style to be direct, humorous, and easy to read. I imagine that Julie Klam, in real life, is one of those people who cracks herself up. (Again, no judgment.) Anyhow, I found it to be a quick, pleasant read based on her writing style.
Two of the biggest challenges I found reading this book were a) the reminders of how people, at times, are pointlessly cruel to animals and b) dealing with the fact that my 15 year-old Samantha is struggling.
But I digress. In short, this was a good, humorous read about the ins and outs of fostering dogs and all the challenges one encounters throughout the process. I was reminded that it certainly is not easy to save a dog - Klam clearly outlines all the red tape one might face whilst trying to do a good deed.
More discussions on said book to come.
