Learn moreFor years, Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was broke and unsure what to do next. Then a stranded van-load of puppies changed his life forever.
Join journalist Peter Zheutlin as he travels with Greg from Ohio to the Gulf Coast on his Rescue Road Trips to bring hard-luck dogs from the deep South to loving "forever families" up north, with the help of many selfless volunteers along the way. From Houston's impoverished Fifth Ward—where thousands of strays roam the streets—and high-kill shelters in Louisiana to joyous scenes of adopters embracing their new pups in the Northeast, Rescue Road is full of heart: an inspiring story about the unique bond between dogs and humans and how going the extra mile can make a life-changing difference for these loyal canines—and for us all.
Peter Zheutlin is a freelance journalist and author whose work has appeared regularly in the Boston Globe and the Christian Science Monitor. Peter has also written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, AARP The Magazine, and other publications. He is the author of Around the World on Two Wheels and coauthor of several books, including Life in the Balance, Riches Among the Ruins, and The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook. Prior to starting his writing career, Peter practiced law and taught legal skills at the University of Virginia and Northwestern University law schools. A graduate of Amherst College and Boston College Law School, he lives in Needham, Massachusetts, with his wife, author Judith Gelman, and his two sons.
