Rescue Road: One Man, Thirty Thousand Dogs, and a Million Miles on the Last Hope Highway

The extraordinary story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect and give them a second chance at life and love.
Twice a month, Greg Mahle leaves his home in Ohio in a 12-wheel rig bound for the rural South, where he rescues abused and abandoned dogs and brings them to loving "forever homes." In this inspiring book, journalist Peter Zheutlin interweaves Greg's experiences with the heartwarming stories of the dogs and the families who adopt them. This dramatic, uplifting account shines a spotlight on critical issues facing dogs and people (like canine overpopulation) and shows how love and a little luck can be the difference between grief and hope for these dogs—and for us all.
