Five important lessons rescue dogs can teach you
Lee Asher says his sanctuary pack of more than 50 animals taught him empathy, purpose and second chances in Saved by the Pack.
- Lee Asher, founder of The Asher House animal sanctuary, published Saved by the Pack to share wisdom from his pack of over 50 animals and the lessons each furry family member has taught him regarding purpose.
- Asher urges readers to "never judge a book by its cover" when encountering animals; when animal control labeled Ray, a German shepherd, as dangerous, the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County saw a "frightened girl" instead.
- Adopting Ken required patience due to his difficult history, but Asher trusted his instincts; "I knew the risks I was taking in adopting Ken," Asher says, eventually earning the dog's lasting trust.
- Tommy "reminded me to slow down and enjoy the moment," Asher says, while he shared the difficult reality of fostering Nacho: "I wouldn't be able to keep Nacho forever."
- The book features photography by Aaron Huey, a contributor to National Geographic, grounding anecdotal lessons in the sanctuary's physical reality; readers can purchase it through Disney Books.
