Blind Hope: An Unwanted Dog and the Woman She Rescued

Are you a bible thumper who loves dogs? Then this book might just be for you! All others, steer clear of this pile of dog shit.

I LOVE dogs. Love the fuckers. I had eight in my home at one point. Eight of my own...then two fosters. I'm not talking about the little yappy dicks either, I had a Saint Bernard, a Rottweiler, Newfoundland...So you could say I am partial to a good dog story. Make it a story about a rescue dog, even better. Make it a story about a special needs rescue dog, break out the kleenex. So why was this book so bad?

Because the dog was barely featured in the damn thing! This book is basically the author having a (stilted, boring, contrived) conversation with Laurie, the owner of Mia. The dog is not named Hope, which I would have expected based on the title, which proves that the authors are assholes. 100%. It is all about poor, broken Laurie discovering her spirituality. I read this because I wanted the story of the dog and a little wee bit about her person. Got it the other way around. No thanks,

P.S.-Laurie, there is a picture of you in this book. How can you criticize your dog for being "ugly"?

P.S.S.- I currently have 3 dogs, 2 Beagle mixes and a shitty, yappy, inherited Pomeranian.
