​Have you ever picked up a book, read it, and then thought to yourself…. “Wow….I should really get on this whole making the world a better place thing….”  Well, that’s just what this book did for me.  Reading about other peoples’ triumphs is inspiring and truly makes you want to jump out of your reading chair and go and do SOMETHING, ANYTHING!  Alison Sawyer Current has a gem on her hands here.

To be honest, this story warmed my heart – and I love the messages it sends.  Unbeknownst to me, Mexico doesn’t care about its’ feral animal population.  Most residents would rather ignore and/or deliberately KILL an animal than help it.  The sad fact is, this is probably still the truth about the majority of Mexico – that being said, no, I have NOT researched this – because I don’t want to know how terrible it is THERE when all I have to do is open an app here on my phone, or turn on a regular tv channel and see the cruelty done to the animals left on the streets here in the States.  

“Rose” will rope you in and have you following along her journey, the highest highs and the deepest lows.  You get to feeling about her pups and dogs as she does – you’re willing and hoping that they survive and that her neighbors and the surrounding communities will begin treating the animals with respect and not neglect/hate.  Tears will be shed by those of us whom deeply care for animals and have a place in their hearts for them.  This isn’t the type of book you read and promptly forget about.

This is a treasure trove of everything from starting out with nothing to gaining everything and all of the hard work in-between.  Acquiring assistance from locals to learning the ins/outs of different types of surgeries and the amount of time, patience, care and a zillion other small things that add up to how much effort and persistence it takes to truly accomplish something genuinely good in this world.  Not only do you start to gain an understanding on this, you start to realize that no matter how much effort you may put towards something, it may not always go the way you planned.  

Fortunately, the majority of us still keep going strong and doing what we can to make this place better.  As for me and Mexico….someday, I hope to make it to Isla Mujeres to visit “Rose” and her home filled with dogs from all over and all types of breeds.  I know (per her written word) that she’s not overly fond of too many visitors, as she has WORK TO DO gosh dang it – but I’d still love to meet the woman and her amazing team who’ve made a difference in that small community on an island in Mexico.  Her and her team have made an impact on the kind of person that I strive to be as I get older, and I’d enjoy thanking them for everything they’ve accomplished so far.

You can purchase this book at all major book sellers of interested! Ms. Current is on FB too along with her rescues page!
