Saving Gracie
Written by cindyc on October 26, 2009 -Here is an excerpt from Great Falls author, Carol Bradley’s new book, Saving Gracie.
The Tricolor Cavalier stood, frozen. Four dogs were left in her crate, and the other three were huddled in the rear, pressed as far back as they could get. The little dog stared straight ahead as the man returned, lifted her off the urine-soaked newspapers, and hugged her close. “Let’s get you out of here,” he said.
To say that Carol is passionate about animals would be an understatement. As a Great Falls Tribune reporter, Carol investigated and wrote about several aspects of animal welfare, including horse slaughtering, rodeos, animal hoarding, and animal cruelty. She then left the newspaper to devote all of her time to writing a book about puppy mills. Saving Gracie is her first book and will be in stores March 2010. You can also pre-order it on Amazon.com!
I would like to tell you more about the book and about Carol, but I think it’s better coming straight from her! PLEASE support Carol and raise awareness about puppy mills by going to her BRAND NEW BLOG! Leave her a comment, show your love for dogs and check out some headshots I took of Carol and her pups.
Congratulations Carol! Your passion, effort and hard work make my heart swell up. Duncan and Boerne say thank you, too!!!
