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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48441983402224,"sku":"9781594488283","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594488283_p0.jpg?v=1768407856","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594488283","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
