Nothing Ventured is the true story about the emotional journey of Tripper, a young Doberman who lost his master, and Pamela, a mother who lost her son. Tripper and Pamela must find a way to live together after tragedy has torn their worlds asunder. The relationship isn't easy or quick. She doesn't want the dog and the dog definitely doesn't want her. A story about the triumph of love from the worst of circumstances; and the will to live in the absence of hope, when sorrow is a constant companion and joy is but a distant dream. For survivors of any sudden tragedy, the time after heartbreak never beats with the same rhythm again. Finding purpose is painful; it takes a long time and a significant reason to no longer be defined by grief. If you love dogs, you'll be irresistibly drawn into this story. You'll enter the appalling world of puppy mills through known rescue vignettes, feel the agony of the pitiful occupants struggling for survival, see the results of a dog's failed adoption after rescue, and follow the rocky path from abuse and starvation to life-long security. A dog gives love when people don't deserve the gift. He forgives when the abuse is unforgivable. Those involved in dog rescue do it for one reason'to replace terror with love and to right horrific injustice. Laced with thought-provoking quotes from well-known authors and illustrated with photos and pen and ink sketches, Nothing Ventured will come alive in the theater of your mind. It'll warm your heart, defy your assumptions about rescued dogs, and encourage you in your personal challenges. You'll meet five unique dogs: Dobermans Tripper and Bani; elegant German Shepherd Dog Kaedo, persnickety Rat Terrier KZ, and mixed breed American Bulldog Keano. There are many books about dogs'but those who read Nothing Ventured will learn something of benefit'about dogs and about life itself. Page by page, this book will speak to your spirit and the end will delight you. This is a story about dogs.
