"[A] scorching investigation of puppy mills. . . . [This] book is an impassioned call to action." --"People" magazine A compelling true story of one dog's rescue from a pennsylvania puppy mill In the United States alone, an estimated 10,000 cramped kennels produce as many as 4 million dogs a year--innocent, often diseased, and emotionally damaged animals who are then sold to unsuspecting families as "purebred" puppies. Worse, some--like Gracie--are kept behind and turned into breeding stock, doomed to a life of confinement with nothing to look forward to but monotony and loneliness. But not every tale about a puppy mill dog has a sad ending, as you'll learn in this heartwarming book. "Saving Gracie" uses the poignant transformation of a scruffy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was rescued from her sentence as a breeding dog to tell the story of America's hidden puppy mills. Award-winning journalist Carol Bradley chronicles Gracie's makeover from a bedraggled animal worn out from bearing too many litters into a loving, healthy member of her new family; and follows her owner, Linda, as she becomes passionately dedicated to saving Gracie's life and spreading the word about the millions of American puppy mill dogs who need our help. "Saving Gracie" will open your eyes, warm your heart, and call you to action.
