          <body><![CDATA[I expected to like this book quite a lot, since it's about a guy rescuing dogs. But he works too hard at finding greater meaning in rescuing dogs--what it says about us as people, how having a dog changes us in ways that are really profound, and so on.<br/><br/>I fostered dogs for a year and I cur...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65354084">more...</a>]]></body>
