latest book, Love At First Bark:
How Saving a Dog Can Sometimes Help You Cave Yourself.
Love at First Bark is a compassionate book
which contains 3 short stories of saving and rescuing dogs.
In the first story, Julie shared her family life struggles, living in a dangerous neighborhood in NY, having a young child, Violet, and owning “not so behaved” 3 dogs. During this time. Julie and her husband, Paul, encountered a mix pit bull which they named Morris. Meeting and saving Morris helped Julie and Paul to reconnect with one another.
The second story is about fostering a terrier dog, which they named Clementine (Clemmie). You have to read the book to find out how they derived this name. Julie prepared her home to foster Clementine by sending 2 of her dogs to Kamp Kanine (in which they needed it for a long time). Julie was able to find a home for Clemmie but due to her special medical needs she reunited with Julie’s family. It is a sweet story about fostering, something my family would like to do someday.
Mmmmm “Sugar” that’s my name … on page 66.
The third story is about Julie’s trip (hoping to be a vacation with Paul) to New Orleans after the devastation created by Hurricane Katrina. Amazing rescue … “I realized that I am the kind of person who would dive under a train to save a dog.”
All in all, a wonderful book to read for any dog lover, particularly who rescues and foster dogs. It shows how saving a dog can truly shape and affect ones life. It’s a short easy to read book, my mom read it in couple hours. I give Julie Klam’s LOVE At First BARK book 4 Golden Paws + a Golden WINK!

I love a good story and would love to win this book.
Sugar, LOVE your photos. Just because of your great review I will check it out. Hope its in Kindle. Your are the best Golden in the blogland.
Hi Sugar:
I love these types of books although most bring a tear to my eye. All of our dogs are rescue dogs from our local shelters and breed rescue groups.
Well, actually we adopted "Maggie" our 2 year old yellow lab last year from a family who kept her outside all year. We live in the Eastern U.S. so it gets pretty cold.
Our dobie "Jenna" was a foster and we intended to keep her for 2 months or until the rescue group found her a home – well they did and it was with us 6 years ago.
I'll check out the book and thank you for sharing.
