Always a Next One (true stories of dog fostering) 2nd Ed

by John L Leonard

Overview

Have you ever tried to housebreak more than one puppy at a time, or a dog that lived his whole life outdoors? Have you ever had to convince yourself there is room for just one more? Have you ever met a cat that struck fear in a pack of dogs?

I have, and experienced great joys and the occasional sorrow as a result. This expanded edition of Always a Next One is a true account of how we went from caring bystanders to front-line animal rescue volunteers. Follow our journey of rescuing misfit dogs and unwanted cats, fostering them, nurturing them, and rehabilitating them until their perfect �forever� homes come along.

Touching, amusing and life-affirming, these stories capture the highs and lows of fostering homeless animals.

This book is 40,000 words.

About the Author

John L. Leonard was born in Savannah, Georgia and graduated from Savannah Christian School. He holds a BBA in Management Information Systems from the University of Georgia and worked as a computer programmer for more than twenty years before becoming a writer.
John has spent most of his adult life in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. His writing has also been influenced by shorter stints working as a bartender, real estate investor, and landlord. He has been married to wife Lisa for twenty-one years and is the proud father of two and grandfather of three, as well as pack leader for several wonderful dogs and a hostile Maine Coon cat. He and Lisa have also volunteered with their local Humane Society for a number of years, providing the inspiration for these short stories about their foster experiences.
His first non-fiction book debuted in 2010, Divine Evolution. His short story �The Hummingbird� is included in the God Makes Lemonade collection from Don Jacobson.
John also writes detective novels under the pen name Rocky Leonard. His first detective thriller, Coastal Empire, is available in ebook and paperback. The local color in his writing is equally authentic whether the setting is a Georgia beach, downtown Atlanta, or the Appalachian foothills in north Georgia.
