Rescue matters / C.J. English - 291 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm
When Keith Benning accepted the job as a deputy in a small North Dakota county, he had no idea he was about to face the biggest challenge of his life. Four years and four thousand dogs later, he lost his marriage, a fellow officer, and nearly his own life. By rescuing seventy starving and unwanted animals each month, caring for them in his garage, Keith and a small team of volunteers have changed the world for thousands of dogs and tens of thousands more to come. Woven with riveting and inspiring real-life rescue stories, Rescue Matters tells a larger tale of tragedy-meets-redemption. Author C.J. English shares her personal experience inside the emotional and bittersweet world of dog rescue, which has much to teach us about responsibility and compassion. Rescue Matters proves that it doesn't take a law or government to change the world; it only takes a few people trying to make a difference to start a revolution. This is a story not just for dog lovers, but for anyone inspired by the compassion of humans and the resilience of the animals who forgive them.
