Dogtripping 25 Rescues 11 Volunteers and 3 RVs on Our Canine CrossCountry Adventure David Rosenfelt 9781250014696 Books

How did a single non-pet owning male end up on a cross country trip with 3 RV's, 25 dogs and 9 volunteer helpers? He met the right woman and his life was never the same. David's wife Debbie is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to dogs. Together she and David have saved 4000 dogs and they've only just begun.

I am very enthusiastic about this book because it has everything. It's a love story between David and Debbie and every dog they've ever met. It's funny because David looks at life with a sense of humor and its filled with stories of many well-loved pets who are allowed and encouraged to have their own personalities. In the Rosenfelt house, Dogs Rule - which is just the way it should be.

To top it off, its the story of a journey few would attempt - a move across country with 25 dogs. With a lot of planning and help from some extraordinary volunteers, it was accomplished with no trauma to the dogs. To David Rosenfelt, maybe but the dogs are now blissfully enjoying life in Maine.

Included are pictures of the pets. They're all beautiful but Wanda and Benji especially crack me up. For pictures of the trip itself, go to Woofabago 2011.

One side note, while David is on a book signing tour, Debbie found 2 more dogs to rescue. I love that woman!!

Dogtripping 25 Rescues 11 Volunteers and 3 RVs on Our Canine CrossCountry Adventure David Rosenfelt 9781250014696 Books Reviews

I am a fan of the author's mysteries and knew he was a force in dog rescue so this book was exactly what I was waiting for. The author is actually funny. A lot of mysteries I read come with blurbs saying how wacky and hilarious the story is. They are lying. This book and the author's other works are actually (I swear) laugh out loud funny. The tale (I resisted writing tail) of their cross country trek is broken up by vignettes about some of the many dogs he and his wife have rescued and placed in forever homes or welcomed into their house. It helps if you have a liking for dogs but the story is funny whether you are a dog nut or not. Pictures of the dogs described are included at the back which really helps. Anyone looking for humor in books currently faces a pretty bleak landscape. Dogtripping is something you will really enjoy. I can honestly say as my neared 100% I was sorry the story was ending.
I have just finished reading this book and really enjoyed it. I have seen some of the reviews that said the writing was mediocre. I am an avid reader and I do not agree with this assessment. Reading this book was like having a conversation with the author. There were laugh out loud moments and cry out loud moments. Perhaps I feel this way because I am a dog lover and find David and Debbie to be remarkable people. I have read all of the Andy Carpenter books and enjoy them as well. These books will probably never be considered classics in the true sense of the word, but they are enjoyable and entertaining and that's all I ask of any book. Thanks for the reading enjoyment you have given me David and thanks for the rescue work you do.
As a fan of Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series, I couldn't resist this non-fiction "woof-a-bago" adventure. I was well rewarded and read it in just a couple of sittings. I must admit at the start that I am a "cat person," but I fell in love with all of the dogs this wonderful man and his wife have brought into their lives. While the book is about the trip from California to Maine - zany, laugh-aloud funny, heartwarming - he intersperses the journey with chapters about individual dogs, how they came to be with them, and what great dogs they are. I don't think he's met one that wasn't.... Also, Rosenfelt writes about his feelings about rescue organizations, shelters, animal horders, euthanasia, all without ever preaching or sounding smug. He has a wry tone and pokes fun at himself at every opportunity. I can't say enough about the pleasure this book gave me. There are a lot of good people in this world, but David and Debbie Rosenfelt have got to be among the best. Buy this one for yourself and for every animal lover you know!
This is a wonderfully told humorous road trip story about a couple, the author David Rosenfelt and his wife Debbie, plus 11 true friends who helped them moved their 25 rescued dogs of various lineages from Orange County, CA to near Damariscotta Lake, Maine using three rented RVs in 2011.

As the author says early in the story on page 4, "[T]he difference between an ordeal and an adventure is attitude. That's how I knew I was in for an ordeal."

In self-deprecating and humble style the author states that 25 is probably the smallest number of dogs they had at any one time in the ten years prior to their cross country adventure, with 42 being the maximum number and 31/32 being about the average. He also gives full credit to the other males in his party as being real men, while he generally portrays himself as a bit of a nebbish in the vein of Woody Allen.

The author and Debbie started a non-profit dog rescue called the TARA Foundation in honor of Debbie's best dog of all time, a golden she still longs for. David and Debbie keep Tara alive by writing her into his Andy Carpenter series in which Tara started off as a 7yo Golden and elven years later has only aged to 9yo. The author says she will never get serous sick or hurt in his novels, nor will she ever die, but she may miraculously get younger if it suits him. )

An idea of the clean type of humor told throughout the book is the experience the author had in trying to book some rooms outside Salt Lake City prior to the move back East. When the motel clerk told him there would be a 50.00/pet cleaning deposit for each dog under 30 pounds and 75.00 for each dog over 30 pounds he said, "I hadn't done the math, but I was pretty sure we would be traveling with over a ton of dog, so the cleaning deposit would probably be the GDP of a third world country." [p64]

I personally liked the chapter in which Charleston Heston adopts Willie, a chow mix from the author, as I also rescued a chow/golden mix as a puppy, I named Leo, and who is now 12+yo. As with all animal lovers, a picture of Leo is visible on my profile page.

This is simply a heartwarming story of love and caring for animals told with insight and humor sure to warm the hearts of all dog/animal lovers and well worth the read.
