From rescue to forever home—how an 81-pound cattle dog named Benny stole my heart in a story filled with love, laughter, and second chances.
Rescue Tales
Welcome to Rescue Tales—where muddy paw prints meet heart-melting moments! Here, you’ll find the funniest, sweetest, and most unforgettable stories from my years rescuing dogs through Mustard Seed Farm in Magnolia, Texas. I will also share funny stories (antics) from my daily journey as a dog owner.
Since 2019, more than 75 pups have trotted through my own front door (and occasionally across my keyboard), each with their own quirks, mischief, and triumphs.
From runaway food thieves to gentle old souls who just needed a soft bed, these stories celebrate the joy, chaos, and unconditional love that rescued dogs bring into our lives.
Many of my books, including my Gone to the Dogs series, are inspired by these very real wagging tails—so pull up a cozy chair, meet some furry friends, and prepare to laugh, sigh, and maybe fall in love yourself.
Six dogs, one distracted author, and a vanished dinner—Benny’s chicken heist proves summer in Texas is never boring.
