"[Klam] continues to rescue, foster, and adopt dogs...each with his or her own special needs, idiosyncrasies, and 'teachable moments' in trusting one's instincts, achieving balance, helping others, finding contentment, loving fiercely, and letting go. This gem of a book is a gift to dog lovers everywhere."
