Patent tells the story of puppy Audie, one of forty-nine dogs rescued from NFL player Michael Vick's Bad Newz Kennels in 2007. The text describes Audie's physical and behavioral rehabilitation, his socialization, and his participation in agility work; the writing is mostly straightforward with some anthropomorphizing ("Audie loves to see his Vick dog friends"). Vivid photographs accompany the text. Reading list, timeline, websites.
