Hi Rebekah, my name is Amy Dalton and I would like to tell you the story of my 3 rescue dachshunds.

Digging into the Dog Industry with Kim Kavin
I found today’s guest, Kim Kavin, with a simple search at my local library. I searched “rescue dog” and a book popped up with the most adorable face on the cover. He had floppy ears, big brown eyes, and he was the same bluish brindle color that always fascinated me about my own dog. I checked out Little Boy Blue right away, and I knew, well before I had finished reading, that I would be getting in touch with Blue’s mom… Listen in to our conversation
