Stories
Notes from the street: how frightened dogs are caught, why kitchen remedies fail on wounds, what the first night in a home is really like, and why some dogs cannot be saved. Written to be useful, not dramatic.
These are educational field notes written from the work, not case reports. No dog is named and no specific rescue is described, because many of these dogs are still on the street.
