Rescue dogs provide above-and-beyond value to humans at our most vulnerable: when we experience deep depression and severe mental illness; searing trauma and gripping grief; debilitating drug addiction; and of course, strained relationships with our fellow humans.

Alternating between memoir and rescue dog owner profiles, this book intimately binds together shelter dogs, mental health and human relationships, exploring the tangible benefits these damaged dogs bring to us damaged humans. The author offers firsthand experience with each of the mental health themes and relationship issues covered herein and discusses how his beloved rescue dog--a battered mutt with an odd name and a heartbreaking backstory--substantially helped him cope with these challenges. Throughout, we find rescue dogs compelling their humans to be better people--to push forward through headwinds, persist despite setbacks, and build self-esteem through the estimable acts of feeding, sheltering and loving an innocent, mistreated being.

Industry Reviews

"We Saved Each Other reads both like an easy-flowing case study on the healing power of living with animals and like a meditation on the meaning of commitments-those that we make to ourselves and the ones we make to our loved ones (including pets). In all my years covering arts, Christopher Dale's book is also one of the most moving tales of love between a human and their four-legged companion I've ever read. Be prepared to be charmed by literature's new hero, Vector-all 20 pounds of him."-Jon Jackson, deputy culture editor, Newsweek
