Everyone loves a great dog story, and Rocky Kanaka has lots of them to share.

Rocky Kanaka is known the world over as a dog rescue avocate. His millions of fans follow along each week as Rocky visits shelters and finds dogs in need. He often finds the most hopeless cases—dogs that have been abandoned because they're sick or their owners can no longer care for them, or they've never had a home and have lived on the street—and helps them find their forever homes. Through patience, kindness, and love, Rocky helps dogs trust and love again, even if it's just for the short time Rocky visits with them in the shelter.

Sitting with Dogs is a collection of stories about nine rescue dogs that each got off to a rough start, but found their way into Rocky's arms. From the story of Flip, Rocky's first rescue and the inspiration for Rocky dedicating his life to saving lost and abandoned dogs, to Macy, who was so emaciated when she arrived at the shelter that no one thought she would survive, Rocky's stories will tug at your heart and bring a smile to your face. And they might even inspire you to give a little of your own time and attention to a dog that just needs a hug and a treat.

Rocky Kanaka is a pet rescue advocate who travels North America raising awareness about homeless pets that have been forgotten, abused, or abandoned. In addition to his advocacy, Rocky owns four dog treat bakeries in the Los Angeles area and considers himself a pet chef. He’s shared hundreds of stories through his social platforms, on his Emmy-nominated Netflix series Save Our Shelter, and on his Dog's Day Out series.

Rocky’s passion for dogs shines through in both his words and voice. I listened to the entire book in one sitting! Some of these stories can be viewed playing out real-time on his YouTube channel. I highly recommend both watching the videos to see the dogs and his in-the-moment thoughts/emotions AND listening to the book for a more intimate perspective and reflection. There is more about his life journey in the book which just brings it all together.

It was wonderful to hear Rocky share some of his thoughts behind the scenes I have seen in his videos. While I am unable to have dogs in my apartment… so sad. Rocky reminded me to volunteer my time and touch the lives of shelter workers and their furry charges. I would highly recommend this glimpse into some of the stories behind the videos of Sitting with dogs!

An inspiring reminder that every single life matters…
