Doing good, one dog at a time

Devon and I just got home from Powell's Books on Hawthorne Boulevard where we saw Ken Foster talk about his new book "The Dogs Who Found Me." I enjoyed listening to him recount how he got snared into the world of dog rescue. In one of the best moments of the talk, he decribed his surpise in finding that all the dogs that he liked in New York were Pit Bulls; he had heard all the horror stories but never saw a picture of one. He had a really difficult time reconciling the killer reputation the breed had with the sweet-natured and loving dogs he knew from New York. I look forward to reading more in the book (which Devon had to have tonight - big surprise for you who know Devon.)

More on this after I've read some of the book.
