Review by Booklist Review

ldquo;Taking care of forsaken animals simply became more and more of who we were." Written with coauthor Lindner, this is the unforgettable, gut-wrenching story of how authors Danta and Danny Robertshaw opened their hearts, homes, lives, and wallets to rescue over 13,000 dogs. Doing more than just taking in abused and neglected animals, Danta and Danny trained the dogs to be trusting and loving pets before finding them caring forever homes. The authors met as two equestrian trainers, their friendship blossoming into love for one another and, eventually, for the stray dogs they would take into their home. When Hurricane Katrina hit, they put together a plan to save as many dogs as possible--and ended up with over 600. With the help and guidance of many other animal lovers, they were able to start the nonprofit organization Danny & Ron's Rescue. This book tells of their beginnings, the stories behind some of their most beloved and heartbreaking rescues, and how they ended up as a focus of the documentary Life in the Doghouse. These two angels disguised as humans offer so much hope and love for animals--and invaluable lessons for readers.
