Diary of a Dumpster Pup: How a cat lover saved the life of an abandoned newborn puppy. A true story.

From Bill Howard for Readers' Favorites:  5-stars:  Though we may never understand what causes people to neglect pets, Diary of a Dumpster Pup shows us that there are often tireless volunteers who help them make it through. Beverly Keil, along with Bandit, tells the story of how this cat lover took in a helpless puppy that was found, along with nine litter-mates, in a dumpster. Through her selfless efforts Bandit goes from what would certainly have been a slow, agonizing death to a happy home. The book is packed with plenty of pictures to document the story. Very well done.  Great story. 

"Inspiring and heartwarming, Diary of a Dumpster Pup will restore your sense of hope for humanity." - 5-stars from Readers' Favorites

Ten puppies, just hours old, are found abandoned in a Dumpster. How could anyone be so cruel? This book takes you on a week by week journey to save the life of Bandit, one of those puppies. The author, a cat lover who has never owned nor cared for a dog, must become mother and lifeline to a newborn dying puppy. The author shares moments of joy and sorrow as Bandit survives and finds a loving new family. Color photos throughout enhance this touching true story. A family-friendly book enjoyed by children and adults. This is a little book with a lot of heart.

Sharing my experience saving the life of Bandit has touched the hearts of many readers. I love the feedback I am receiving. "My 7-year old son took the book to school for his teacher to read to the class." "My 10-year old son memorized a passage from the book and recited it in class." A 95-year old former neighbor told me he sat down and read the book from cover to cover immediately. He loved it. Adults and children admit to laughing and crying over Bandit's survival. Several readers ordered 6 or more copies as gifts for pet loving friends.The unanswerable question people keep asking me:  how could you give Bandit up?
