In her bestselling memoir \u003ci\u003eYou Had Me  at Woof,\u003c\/i\u003e she shared the secrets of happiness she learned as an  occasionally frazzled but always devoted owner of Boston terriers. Now,  with the same enchanting, pop culture-infused amalgam of humor and  poignancy that reached the \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the  \u003ci\u003eToday\u003c\/i\u003e show and won the hearts of readers across the country, she  returns with more humorous insight into life with canine companions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKlam focuses here on dog rescue, and its healing power not only for  the dogs who are cared for and able to find good homes, but also for  the people who bond with these animals. Klam became involved with  rescue after years as an owner of purebred dogs. She was looking for a  way to help and participate in a community, but she never imagined just  how much she would receive in return. The dogs she has rescued through  the years have filled her life with laughter and contentment, sorrow  and frustration, and they have made certain that she never has a dull  moment. Along the way, she has collected stories from friends who have  also found that guiding dogs to nurturing homes made their own lives  richer. These experiences, which show us that even in our smallest  gestures we can make a big difference, inspired \u003ci\u003eLove at First  Bark\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120828465392,"sku":"9781101547960","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101547960_p0.jpg?v=1763687693","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101547960","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
