by Michael J. Baines (Author)
Detached from the city in a small Thai village surrounded by lush rolling hills, cassava fields, and blooming plumeria, lives a man and his dogs - all 766 of them.
Every theater major dreams of stardom, and Michael J. Baines was no exception. This break-dancing, joke-cracking, quick-thinking talent had all of the main character energy needed to succeed. What he lacked was the funds. Needing to pay the rent, Michael took a role working in the fast-paced kitchens of Sweden's restaurant scene, only to find
himself accidentally working for the Yugoslavian mafia. It doesn't take long before he's caught up in the exhilarating and dangerous world of amphetamines. But when chasing thrills turns into battling demons, Michael has to make a choice that could be the beginning of the end, or, the beginning of everything.
From his tumultuous childhood and struggles with substance abuse to his fateful meetings with the dogs that would forever change him, Michael takes you on the hilarious and heartbreaking journey that made him into The Man That Rescues Dogs and brings you home to commune with his supporting cast of lovable misfits.
Step into the incredible true story of an ordinary man who created an extraordinary community of underdogs, survivors, and unlikely heroes in this story-filled memoir by The Man That Rescues Dogs.
