Puppy Mill Survivors

I recently received my copy of the book "Puppy Mill Survivors" and it was absolutely beautiful. The book tells the story of a several dogs, each of whom started out their life in a puppy mill but has survived and now has a happy life as a beloved dog. It's definitely a labor of love by photographer Melissa Daniels, who has published 4 books in her Photo Book Project, but I was extra excited because there's something special about this book. There are 5 New Rattitude foster dogs featured in the book and three of them were my foster dogs! And there are also two other Rat Terriers in the book as well. Not a bad showing for the Rats!

If you are interested in learning more about Melissa's project be sure to click the link to visit her Website. The foster pups' page includes a very interesting story about the 15 mill puppies that New Rattitude rescued at the same time and gives a great shout out for New Rattitude. The pups were a commercial breeder's overstock. These four guys pictured are the 4 in the litter who came to Washington.
