A heartwarming and uplifting book June 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Baby's story is a must- read for dog lovers everywhere. Unfortunately, her story is not unique, it is the story of all the pure-bred dogs and designer dogs you see all over the place---the ones from the pet store or the internet seller. The truth is they are from horrific puppy mills. Thank goodness Jana Kohl has not only given Baby a wonderful life, but she has been inspired to write a poignant and moving account of her journey from being a prisoner of greed in a canine supermax prison to a loving home.
Bravo Jana, for writing such a beautiful book. I know it will inspire millions of people to make the only ethical choice when bringing a companion animal into one's heart and home, to adopt a four-legged friend from your local shelter. We all salute Baby on her national book tour and wish her the success she deserves!

A Rare Breed Of Love is a beautifully written book, one that WILL touch your heart each and every time you turn the pages. This book is a wonderful tool for education about the cruetly of puppy mills. Give this book to everyone you know who loves dogs. Reach out to stop this horror. I was lucky enough to meed Baby and her 'Ma', what an incredibly beautiful and sweet girl. This is probably one of the most important books written about animal advocacy.

If you love animals, especially dogs, buy this book(the proceeds go to the Humane Society in the fight against puppy mills.) I bought several for family and friends and everyone loved it. Some even gave money to donate to the Humane Society who are working with Jana to make puppy mills illegal.

The author needs to make distinctions. Breeders are not the bad guys if breeder has a few dogs, shows the dogs and breeds after dog has gained status and only with carefully selected partner. A puppy mill, on the other hand, is something to be outlawed. There must be a distinction. A person (breeder) who competes in shows with one or two dogs, worries about their diet and coat texture, makes sure every dog is trained and socialized, takes years to decide on the right mate (if that decision is ever made), cannot be lumped together with a person who treats their 150 dogs like chickens in battery cages just popping out profit like eggs from a hen. Read that line "a friend who worked in animal welfare, and she was horrified that I would even consider buying a dog from a breeder". Horrified to get a dog from a breeder? That is where we part company. Also, has anybody every looked at some of the nastiest puppy mill operators, the Amish, for example, who treat their animals so badly they shame us all. The Amish dump uncounted puppies into the system every year for profit...and where are the controls for any of these puppy mills? Overall a well written book and on a subject that needs to be in the public eye. But, let's get rid of the puppy mills and not the honest and caring breeders. There is a very big difference.
excellent heartwarming story July 3, 2008
