They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with twenty-five dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite the RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment. Rosenfelt recounts the adventure of moving his animal companions across the United States with humor and warmth, and tells the tale of how he and his wife became passionate foster parents for rescue dogs, culminating in the creation of the Tara Foundation and successfully placing several thousand dogs with loving families. \u003cbr\u003eAn NPR Best Book of 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eDogtripping\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightful romp through [the] adventures — and misadventures — of running a dog rescue...If it's been too long since you enjoyed a funny, sweet, romantic tale, read this book.”  —\u003ci\u003eAssociated Press\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A story as poignant as it is hilarious.” —\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A warmhearted winner.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fans of the Carpenter novels will recognize the author's familiar writing style: relaxed and lightly funny, but serious when the moment calls for it...Spirited and absolutely absorbing reading for fans of canine capers--both fictional and otherwise.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eDogtripping \u003c\/i\u003eis a book that will make you laugh, cry, and want to adopt a dog from the nearest shelter--all on the same page.
