Overview
When Cara felt her teenaged children slipping away and saw an empty nest on the horizon, she decided the best way to fill that void was with dogsālots of themāand so her foster journey began.
In 2015, her Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes. There were the nine puppies at once, which arrived with less than a dayās notice; a heart- worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep. Operation Paws for Homes rescues dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south and shuttles them north to foster homes like Caraās on the way to their forever homes.
What started as a search for a good dog, led to an epiphany that there wasnāt just one that could ll the hole left in her heart from her children gaining independenceāshe could save dozens along the way. The stories of these remarkable dogsā including an eighty-pound bloodhound who sang arias for the neighborsāand the joy they bring to Cara and her family (along with a few chewed sofa cushions) fill the pages of this touching and inspiring new book that reveals the wonderful rewards of fostering.
When asked how she can possibly say goodbye to that many loveable pups, Cara says, āIf I donāt give this one away, I canāt possibly save another.ā Filled with humanity and hope,Ā Another Good DogĀ will take the reader on an journey of smiles, laughs, and tearsāand lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are out there and what we can do to help.Ā
