The Dog Rescuers Book II: Purrfectly Unleashed

By Joni Wilson

The much anticipated, book two of "The Dog Rescuers" series ushers in more dogs needing to be rescued like Romeo, the trash addicted bulldog and Chanel, the misplaced trapeze artist with a French accent. We also meet an existentialist cat, much to the annoyance of Kiddo, that saunters in on his action, forcing Kiddo to deal with his own long, dark history of hating cats. Thus, the title "Purrfectly Unleashed." The, "Master Plan" is sidetracked when a trip to Hollywood brings the pack face to face with a night in a dog shelter. After a brave escape, they make it back smack dab in the middle of America, where it's no surprise that more dogs answer Kiddo's call and show up in Abby's yard to be rescued. Time to get back on track and keep Abby and Luke focused on the "Master Plan," which is to ultimately find homes for all the dogs lost and confused, sad and abused, so they can get rescued, through the "Plan B- Mode of Operation." In the meantime, so much good is happening around the colliding of the two worlds of man and beast as they discover their hidden talents, and that anything is possible with the love of a great dog. The reader is brought into two parallel worlds as both human and canine deal with life challenges. They learn they are not that different after all. In the end, we ask, are the humans really doing the rescuing or does this secret world of doggie communication, expose that all along it was a ruse to rescue humans. Every character has their own song, written by Joni and some of Nashville's top songwriters, on the interactive website www.thedogrescuers.net. Facebook.com/thedogrescuersonline

Chapter 1

ROMEO’S RESCUE

ROMEO WAS NOT your typical *bulldog. Instead of craving a dinner of tasty dog food nuggets, he’d rather knock over a trashcan in the alley and eat rotten leftovers. Better yet, an old shoe or fishbone.

His family called him Romeo, because he loved hugs and kisses at the top of his head, and he sure did love kissing them back from his big jowls full of slobbering licks.

He was brown, white, and tan color with a big belly. He was about twenty pounds overweight, so he would wobble from side to side. They would look at him and affectionately say, Romeo, you’re definitely built for love and not speed.

His little legs did all they could to carry the big belly that would almost touch the ground.

Yes, Romeo hobbled around, but despite this, he would not listen to his family. Even when they tried to get him to live a healthier lifestyle.

He couldn’t seem to get the strength to change, and as *irony would have it, no one could ever get close to hug him which was the very thing he craved the most. It got to the point where all he would eat was nothing but trash.

Romeo was in the throws of *addiction. It was holding him back from getting his true heart’s desire.

His family loved him very much, but it was difficult to show it. They were forced to keep their distance due to the *persistent green cloud of flatulence, or better known as, farts! The smell was so bad that they couldn’t go near him.

After years of no hugs from his family, Romeo was getting very lonely. He was forced to replace the missing love and hugs with the food in the trashcans.

Over time, he was beginning to realize that he was eating his feelings. No matter how much trash and
