The Dogs Who Found Me: What I’ve Learned from Pets Who Were Left Behind is an audiobook by Ken Foster.
“An absorbing and quirky memoir. Foster’s style is blunt, funny and poignant.
He smoothly melds the events of his turbulent life along with the gritty details of rescuing abandoned dogs into a piece that goes to the heart.”San Francisco Chronicle
“A beautiful and funny account of dog love.This light, deeply felt chronicle puts that best-selling confection Marley & Me in the shade.”Plain Dealer
“As if channeling the frank and fundamental nature of dogs, Foster’s sentences hide little pretense or poetry. A charming account of a life among dogs. “Publishers Weekly
“Warm, candid not sentimental about the hard work of saving dogs but rather confident, reflecting Foster’s belief that taking action on behalf of abandoned dogs is the right thing to do.”
Booklist
Ken Foster never intended to adopt an abandoned dog. But after bringing Brando home, he finds it hard not to notice how many homeless strays there are in the city. Suddenly, he finds them everywhere, and finds himself unable to resist taking them home. But what he gains from them in return is far richer than his own expense.
As he forms relationships with each new animal, Foster finds solidarity between their misfortunes and his own, and unfiltered companionship through some of life’s biggest hardships: the shock of New York City after 9/11, the evacuation of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and the day his heart nearly stopped for good.
