Jana Kohl's new book, "A Rare Breed of Love: The True Story of Baby and the Mission She Inspired to Help Dogs Everywhere," is lifting the curtain to show the evils of puppy mills.
But the book, published by Fireside/Simon & Schuster, is also a celebration of one very small survivor—a three-legged poodle and former puppy mill breeding dog named Baby.
In addition to important information about puppy mills and adoption, the book is filled with more than 60 heartwarming photos of baby with some of her high-profile fans, including film and television stars, politicians from both sides of the aisle, sports figures and cultural icons.
The HSUS's president and CEO Wayne Pacelle wrote the introduction to the book.
From June through October, Baby's Rare Breed of Love Road Trip visited more than 20 cities across America to encourage pet adoptions, raise awareness about puppy mills and help promote the welfare of all animals.
"A Rare Breed of Love" is available wherever books are sold.
