Reviews

"The Dogs Were Rescued is far more than a dog book. It's a book about how all of us who love animals can understand, and do, more to make their lives better. After reading this book I want to do more than love my own dog. I want to live in a way that shows my love for all dogs." - Kim Kavin, author of Little Boy Blue: A Puppy's Rescue from Death Row and His Owner's Journey for Truth
"THE DOGS WERE RESCUED is a love letter to our animals, to who they are and who they make us want to be. Teresa has written a wonderfully funny story about change, transformation and unexpected second acts. She also reminds us of what her beagles always knew; love deeply, move forward, and never turn down a snack." - Quinn Cummings, author of Notes From The Underwire and Pet Sounds
"With Teresa's characteristic intelligence, humor, and intensity, she explores food production, the horrors of animal testing in cosmetics, cleaning supplies and more, and determines that the vegan life is the only choice that makes sense for her...This book will change you...and you'll have Teresa to thank." - Linda Sherman-Nurick, Cellar Door Books, Riverside, CA
"A literary masterpiece! Teresa Rhyne writes from the heart and soul in a way that draws you in so deeply, you can't help but physically feel her pain, her love, her sorrow, her fear, her excitement and her inspiration. Her true 'tails' of loss and newfound life are not to be missed. I laughed, I cried. I felt relief and enthusiasm. This is a must read not only for dog lovers, but for anyone with a passion for animals." - Shannon Keith, Founder and President of the Beagle Freedom Project
"Teresa Rhyne gives us much to think about as she amusingly shares her enlightening journey as an animal loves who comes to terms with what that really means. The Dogs Were Rescued (And So Was I) is an enthralling and heart-warming story of extending the compassion we have for dogs to all animals--including the ones who end up as dinner." - Jenny Brown, Founder and Executive Director, Woodstock Animal Farm Santuary and author of The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals
"The Dogs Were Rescued (And So Was I) made me nod in agreement, laugh, cry, and laugh some more. Anyone with furry family members will love this. Anyone on a health journey will love this. Yes, I cried, and found my eyes misty while writing this. Read more at http://twoclassychics.com/2014/08/book-review-the-dogs-were-rescued/#XwrA7Xisy7FODXpv.99" - Two Classy Chicks
"This book is about more than the next chapter in Rhyne's life. It's about her journey toward finding her place in the world, and being more compassionate towards all creatures." - Life With Beagle
"There's humor in this book, and kibble for dog-lovers, particularly beagle fans, to enjoy. I liked that a lot." - Bookworm Sez
"As a dog lover, I liked this book. I liked the writing style ... it was funny and sarcastic at times yet honest. " - Teena in Toronto
"Reading this sheds light on the effects of animal testing on dogs, how vegans don't fall into one stereotype and that as messy as life can get, one always finds a way to navigate through it." - Too Kool Doggies
"Teresa captures that intangible feeling of MUTUAL, unconditional love when a strong bond develops between a pet and his or her companion. Her recent book, The Dogs Were Rescued (and So Was I), tells the story of Teresa's involvement with Beagle Freedom Project and her own personal growth and transformation." - Manatee Pet
