Another Good Dog is a warm and entertaining memoir about what happens when you foster fifty dogs in less than two years and how the dogs save you as much as you save them. Filled with humanity and hope, Another Good Dog will take the reader on a journey of smiles, laughs, and tears― and lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are out there and what we can do to help. OPH Rescue will have a booth at Wags n’ Whiskers. This is a community-oriented event for animal-loving shoppers of all ages to spend an afternoon at The Village at Shirlington with their pets.
