The Origins of "Rescued"

by Miriam Newman

“Rescued” is my first venture into non-fiction.  The true story of the dog that became my guide in the world of animal rescue, it was written as a tribute to her and also a fundraiser for one of my favorite rescues, Home Free.

Dancer was a little forty-five pound pit bull mix that came into my life just when I needed her.  And she needed me, oh, how that dog needed me.  She was an emotional vampire.  She wrecked the house, her crate, my car—you name it, she destroyed it.  I have said I felt like I was flattened under my house with only the red striped legs and black shoes from The Wizard of Oz sticking out.  But what a dog.  She was needy, but she was brave.  She was stubborn, yet she was soulful.  I was never quite sure whether there was a dog or a human in there.  I loved her to the bone.

I have fostered and adopted many dogs since Dancer and, through that effort, made some of the best and truest friends anyone could ever want. 

One little dog did all that.  I really had to write her story.  And now I have many animal friends keeping me company as I continue writing romance.  The longer the book, the better they like it, because I’m in one place for a long, long time.  And sometimes there is even food!  LOL.

Here is Dancer, who started it all:

And below is is Tia, who posed for my cover because Dancer’s original pictures were too old and grainy for cover art.
