Author: Peter Zheutlin ID: B0155I9K8O

For years Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was broke and unsure what to do next. Then a stranded vanload of puppies changed his life forever. Join journalist Peter Zheutlin as he travels with Greg from Ohio to the Gulf Coast on his Rescue Road Trips to bring hard-luck dogs from the Deep South to loving “forever families” up north, with the help of many selfless volunteers along the way. From Houston’s impoverished Fifth Ward – where thousands of strays roam the streets – and high-kill shelters in Louisiana to joyous scenes of adopters embracing their new pups in the Northeast, Rescue Road is full of heart: an inspiring story about the unique bond between dogs and humans and how going the extra mile can make a life-changing difference for these loyal canines – and for us all.
Done.

Disclaimer: I have personal involvement with the subject matter as my own dog was adopted from Kathy Wetmore at Houston Shaggy Dog Rescue and brought from Houston, TX to NY using Rescue Road Trips in May 2013. I continue to be involved with RRT by taking photographs at one of Greg’s many stops.I have a purchased copy arriving this week, however, I also received an advance copy as a surprise from Greg & Adella for my volunteer work with the group. Needless to say, I have a biased opinion…bUT if you read this book, you’ll see why. 😉

"Rescue Road" is a heartwarming & eye opening journey into the world of dog rescue. Peter Zheutlin was able to experience life with Greg on the road during his biweekly journey to help him better understand and research the ins & outs involved with rescue groups, as well as the successful, well-organized transport that Greg operates. Many people don’t realize that there is a whole culture of rescue groups who work tirelessly to save as many dogs as possible from euthanasia, yet it’s still never enough. More often, people in the north don’t even realize the severity of issues that plague animals in many southern states. "Rescue Road" helps bring to light the desperate conditions of shelters with insanely high euthanasia rates due to sheer volume of animals due to lack of spay/neuter, injuries, and not to mention lack of vaccination that leads to diseases. The dogs that end up in the shelters are often perfectly adoptable animals that have been abandoned for a multitude of reasons. Various rescue groups claim these animas to save them from certain death and work diligently to find them suitable homes. Those who are placed with families in New England states generally make their "freedom ride" with Greg.
My husband, Paul, and I have rescued four small mutts. The last two, Jellybean (from Lafayette Animal Aid) and Mitzy (aka Rosebud) from Shaggy Dog Rescue, Houston, TX were brought to us via Greg Mahle and Rescue Road Trips. Our grandsons were present for Mitzy’s *Gotcha Day* and both declared it the BEST DAY EVER!!! GOTCHA DAY is filled with smiles and tears of joy for everyone present. Although we no longer live in New England, when we did, Paul and I would drive an hour just to be part of the love fest that ensues. It makes Christmas morning pale in comparison.

The side of Greg’s transport truck says "saving lives, 4 paws at at time* but he’s actually saving humans, too. Begs me to ask – Who Rescued Who???

So I preordered this book and eagerly awaited its arrival hoping that the author would be able to capture the essence of GOTCHA DAY (which is really all I knew about rescue). I was blown away by Peter Zheutlin’s first hand account of rescue. It wasn’t just a story of *happy tails ever after*. Peter delves into the reality of rescue, and much of it is heartbreaking – but necessary – to understand why Greg travels thousands of miles every couple of weeks on his rescue mission. Many of us follow Rescue Road Trip on Facebook and know he’s supported by his *Angels* from Birmingham, AL, Allentown, PA & Rocky Hill,CT. These *Angels* are Greg’s faithful RRT army that greet him and help water, walk and love his precious cargo. However, many of us have no clue as to what’s involved with saving a dog’s life. This book was a real eye opener, and I have nothing but love and admiration for everyone involved in saving these dogs lives. Thank you all, from the bottom of my very grateful heart.
