Description
From Bill Howard for Readers' Favorites: 5-stars: Though we may never understand what causes people to neglect pets, Diary of a Dumpster Pup shows us that there are often tireless volunteers who help them make it through. Beverly Keil, along with Bandit, tells the story of how this cat lover took in a helpless puppy that was found, along with nine litter-mates, in a dumpster. Through her selfless efforts Bandit goes from what would certainly have been a slow, agonizing death to a happy home. The book is packed with plenty of pictures to document the story.
