Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search-and-Rescue Dog by Susannah Charleson

Method of Disposal: Leaving in an EAV neighborhood book box
What a pleasant surprise?! I bought this book when it was something like 75% off--a bookstore was going out of business. I bought it because I love dogs and because it was inexpensive. Then, I kept hesitating to read it. So many times books about animals are not written well, even if they are interesting. I knew I would struggle through this one. I was wrong. Susannah did a great job. Sometimes she had me laughing, alone in my house, while my own dogs gave me quizzical stares. I respected her drive and her dedication. I was pleased to see that Search and Rescue dogs are still dogs after all. They have to learn how to coexist with people just like the shelter dogs we adopt out every day. It can be so frustrating when someone returns a puppy for chewing or for not being housebroken. If only those same people realized that even canine heroes have to go through that phase. I really loved this book and this glimpse into Susannah and Puzzle's lives.
