"This book was amazing, it was really hard to read, heartbreaking, but full of hope and courage.
Baby use to live in a puppy mill in the USA, but a kind women she was recused and then both of them took a couragous journey to expose the truth about pupply mills in the USA. There are many puppy mills in the USA, and all dogs endure horrific conditions and are treated like breeding machines.
Since this book has been published many puppy mills have been closed down and dogs helped and rehomed with help from the Human Society of the United States.
"This book is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Anyone who is thinking of getting a dog needs to read this book. All of my future dogs will be rescues."
"This is a terrific book and very moving story of Baby, a poodle who was rescued from a California puppy mill. The purpose of the story is to raise awareness about the horrible conditions of puppymills across the United States.
Baby, who until she was nine years old, was kept locked in a filthy cage and produced litter after litter of puppies to be sold for a profit. Her owner was terribly cruel. She even cut Baby's and the 100's of other dogs in the mills vocal cords so they could no longer bark. Baby's only value to the mill owner was her ability to produce puppies. When she was too old to breed anymore, the mill owner was going to have her and some other mothers killed because they were no longer useful to the owner.
A good samaritan resuced the dogs, and Baby was adopted by Jana Kohl, the author of the book. Jana and Baby wrote the book to bring attention to the plight of dogs in puppy mills. They have enlisted the help of many people, who help in animal causes. Be forewarned that some the information in the book is fairly graphic, but necessary for the telling of Baby's story. There are many heartwarming parts to the book also. It may not be the best written book you will ever read, but it may be one of the most touching books you will ever open. As a foster mom to many, many dogs, I already knew about the horrors of puppymills. I have fostered my share of mill dogs and most are like Baby, forever greatful for the love of an owner."
"This book is about a cause I truly believe in, but as a readable book it is sorely lacking. It reads like a grade 6 homework assignment - what I did this summer. Couldn't stand it. Read the first 30 pages or so and that was more than enough for me."
