"The Man Who Talks to Dogs brings Randy Grim's lifesaving efforts to life, giving readers a sense of the urgency of this rescues, of the sorrow of seeing man's best friend abandoned to the harshest of conditions, and of the incredible ability of animals to reach humankind compassion. It provides a moving testimony to the depts. Of the human-animal bond and, more important, it calls each of us to become involved in this crucial endeavor." - Richard Avanzino, President, Maddie's Fund "Roth describes how Grim was drawn into this crusade, the reader will begin to understand why he cares so much and feel hopeful that with such efforts, the situation can indeed change. Despite his own emotional difficulties, Grim emerges as a caring, deeply committed individual whom the reader will like as much for his idiosyncrasies as in spite of them. In recounting one crusader's campaign, Roth does an excellent job of boiling down the nationwide problem of feral and stray dogs to its basic issues. Recommended for most public libraries." - From the "Book of the Month Club" "The dog lover's book has a big heart and unleashes an important message about compassion. Meet Randy Grim, a crusader who has dedicated himself to rescuing, rehabilitating and publicizing the plight of abandoned, stray dogs. His story is as life affirming as that of the dogs he's saved. There's Noel, the German Shepherd mix for who he braved an armed squatter; Bonnie, the pregnant Collie mix who infection forced him to hand feed 13 puppies; and Louis, the lame Rottweiler from the underworld of dog fighting. Grim's heroism should inspire us all to be…the compassionate people we need to be." - Michael J. Rosen, Editor of Dog People
