About this listen

We can all make a difference.

Elementary-school teacher Diane Trull's life-defining moment happened when her fourth-grade reading class saw a photo of a cardboard box overflowing with homeless puppies. Trull was no stranger to rescuing abandoned animals. She and her husband, Mark, had made it their mission to find permanent homes for stray dogs and cats. Now her young students were determined to save these lost pups and others like them. And in that moment, the Dalhart Animal Wellness Group and Sanctuary - known as DAWGS - was born.

How Trull and her fourth graders started their own animal shelter is a story of dedication, commitment, and perseverance. In this eye-opening, deeply personal book, Trull describes the challenges they faced, from rescuing and caring for the animals to teaching children about compassion and responsibility, to facing local interests opposed to having a shelter in their town. She shares inspiring stories about animals and animal lovers of all ages in this moving story of hope and compassion. DAWGS is a testament to how love and a strong measure of determination can offer second chances - one animal, one child, and one day at a time.

This is a very inspiring story about a teacher listening to her students and teaching them how to make a difference in their community. But there's a limit to how many hours you can listen to something that just reaffirms that too many people in authority and local communities should be euthanised for their spiteful behaviours, rather than the poor dogs that are their victims. I admire the fortitude of this young woman, her students and their supporters, but with a couple more hours to listen to I'm ready to shoot somebody. Thank Goodness I live in the UK where people are no less vindictive or ignorant, but at least we have gun controls.
