What readers are saying:
“It was a moving and tender story. We all see countless accounts of rescued dogs and their happy ending adoptions, but we never know of the time, hardship, and suffering they experienced before they find a loving family. This helped me really relate to what these animals go through. It opened my eyes to the fear and insecurity these poor dogs face. If you love dogs, I hope you will take the time to read this book. You will never look at another stray or rescue the same. This is also a great book for children to read.” - The Old Crow’s Empty Nest by Narita
“I am 95 yrs. old and just loved this book! I lived on Maryland St. in the early days of my marriage and reading the account of GG's rescue on Maryland St. brought back so many memories for me… This book was both heartwarming and educational.” – Rose M.
“I think this was such an amazing story; probably the best story I’ve ever read. This story taught me that, by helping others, you can make a difference in their lives. I will never forget this wonderful tale, and I will always have a place in my heart for the animals, such as GG. So, love the animals, and enjoy this great book!” - Kara M., age 10
Whether you’re a teacher, pet owner, shelter employee, student, veterinarian, or animal lover, GG’s Journey will instill compassion and love for animals in your heart.
