MJ Kent's book, "It's Been a Dog Gone Good Life", is different from most dog books in that it gives a unique view of a dog lover's life. The book includes an insider's glimpse into potential adopters' sometimes uninformed intentions. It tells the story of many compassionate and appreciative adopters. MJ Kent writes of a kaleidoscope of heartwarming encounters with neglected, unwanted dogs. She shares a collection of anecdotes of humorous reasons why people surrender their dogs then tops it off with a sprinkling of successful and not-so-successful rehabilitations and adoptions. The birth, death, and conception dates of her three consecutively owned Chihuahuas, all named Mouse, weave a story which if you so believe proves that spirits can live on through eternity.
