This is a repost from one of our friends, Poodle in the City! Raleigh is a shy yet very determined giant phantom poodle. His adventures in the City of Houston personalize the rich and often conflicting interface where dog meets human. Make sure to visit Poodle in the City! Here is their really great post on the book Scent of the Missing!
Scent of the Missing, by Poodle in the City:
Puzzle, the search and rescue dog, sat out of the way between two pieces of furniture, under a large window in the far corner of the room. I rushed through the busy, chatty throng of book fans and dog lovers to meet her.
Susannah, Puzzle’s human and author of “Scent of the Missing”, told me her girl is trained to stay out of the way. On a busy rescue site it would be too easy for a fireman or paramedic to trip over her. It’s Puzzle’s job to save lives not to be a nuisance.
I was thrilled to meet the author and her smart and gorgeous dog. I descended upon them with a barrage of excited questions. I found out:
Puzzle complied politely with my request to pet her. She came out from between the chair and coffee table like a good girl but she was basically uninterested. She didn’t give a squirrel’s behind that I had painted my toenails and ironed my linen jacket in honor of meeting her. Hobnobbing with fans was low on her priority list. Puzzle would rather do what she was trained for - save lives.My human intuition told me that was true of Susannah as well, though she gave no outward clue. She was eloquent, entertaining and friendly as she answered the dozens of questions I fired off. But I could tell, the book and the book tour is not about fame and fortune. It is about the human lives that will be saved by promoting the heroic canine contribution to search and rescue. And about the lives of homeless goldens that can be saved by Susannah’s telling, and Puzzle’s showing, of the lovely temperament and incredible talents of this breed.Thank you ladies! You are the best kind of heroes.Readers… buy the book! Read it and tell your friends about it. Contribute to Susannah’s and Puzzle’s efforts to save lives. You will be fascinated, entertained and inspired. And if you or anyone you love is ever lost in the woods, helpless in a collapsed building or trapped in a disaster area you’ll be so glad you did.Thank you Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston for hosting Susannah Charleson and Puzzle on their book tour promoting their bestseller “Scent of the Missing.”
