Meet Andy, Skip, and Maxine. Andy Maxine Andy Andy was my go-to guy the whole time I was writing The Mountaintop School for Dogs and Other Second Chances. The dogs who are my characters are in rehab from lives of hurt caused by humans. I'd put my hands on the fur of this guy and look into his eyes and marvel how he has no idea that not all dogs on earth have his peace, his deep sense of self, his awareness that life is a pretty good thing. This dog thinks abuse is when his dinner is ten minutes late (he can tell time precisely, based on feeding times). Of course he doesn't know, or care, that I'm a writer. But he likes when I read to him to try stuff out. I love what he does when I stop to make a change to a sentence: paws me i.

Evie is stuck at The Inn, managed by the stern and mysterious Mrs. Auberchon, although she's supposed to join a training program at The Sanctuary. That's what she signed up for - never mind that she lied and doesn't know the first thing about animals. Once up on the mountain with staffers, volunteers, and her dog students, Evie takes notes on the new things she's learning. Alpha. Forgiveness. Play. Rehabilitation. Like the racing greyhound who refuses to move, the golden retriever who returns every time he's adopted, and the rottweiler who's a hopeless candidate for search-and-rescue, Evie came from a troubled past. She writes: "Rescue. Best. Verb. Ever." As she creates her own training manual, she may even write an entry on herself.

The Sanctuary. High up on the mountain, the Sanctuary is a place of refuge. It is a place where humans save dogs, who, in turn, save the humans. It is a place where the past does not exist, where hopelessness is chased away, where the future hasn’t been written, where orphans and strays can begin to imagine a new meaning for “family.” Evie is making her way to the Sanctuary. She has lied to gain entry. She has pretended to know more than she does about dogs, but she is learning fast. Once the indomitable Mrs. Auberchon lets her pass, she will find her way. Like the racing greyhound who refuses to move, the golden retriever who returns to his job as the Sanctuary’s butler every time he’s adopted, and the Rottweiler who’s a hopeless candidate for search-and-rescue, Evie comes from a troubled past. But as they all learn, no one should stay prisoner to a life she didn’t choose. This is the story of two women and a whole pack of dogs who, having lost their way in the world, find a place at a training school—and radical rescue center—called the Sanctuary. It is a story of strays and rescues, kidnappings and homecomings, moving on and holding on and letting go. And it is, ultimately, a moving and hilarious chronicle of the ways in which humans and canines help each other find new lives, new selves, and new hope.
