Just about anyone would love this book!! submitted by mickplu on July 14, 2016, 6:08pm David Rosenfelt summarizes the "lessons" learned from his first golden retriever Tara. David and his wife run the Tara rescue foundation and typically share their home with 25-40 dogs at any given time. Besides the heartwarming chapters on the various dogs, there's quite a bit of comedy too. For example, when David first moved to Maine, he was virtually completely ignorant of deer. At first, he was the laughingstock of the small rural community because he didn't know that it's easy to distinguish a male from a female deer due to the former having antlers. He then asked his wife: "How does a female manage to give birth to a male with antlers? I guess I envision deer doctors yelling Push! Push! To the mother in labor, and that mother screaming, “I can’t! The &#($^% antlers hurt too much!”
