Don Hughes

The Mutt for Me is a heartwarming rescue story. Don Hughes had been working at an animal shelter for two years, helping many pets find their forever homes, when he he finally decides to adopt his first dog. There was something different about Barbie, who had been deemed unadoptable due to behavioral problems. With much trepidation, Don takes the plunge and brings Barbie home.

The book covers roughly Don and Barbie's first year together. It was quite a challenge! It is through a labor of love on both sides that Don and Barbie work together to help Barbie be the great dog Don knew she could be. Even though she's a full grown adult dog, many of the chapters it was like Don had a newborn with the around the clock care Barbie needed in the beginning. It all ends well with Don and Barbie having many years ahead of them. These books, along with my own adopted pets, always makes me ask: who rescues who?
