Lost Souls: Found! Inspiring Stories about Pit Bulls, by Kyla Duffy and Lowrey Mumford (Happy Tails
Books, 2012 (PB), 144 pages, $12.95)
Yup! As soon as we published
the previous review, we realized we had wanted to highlight the person who
wrote the foreward – Linda Blair of movie fame (Oscar-nominated for The Exorcist).
Linda has always loved and lived
with animals and in 2004 created the non-profit organization, the Linda
Blair WorldHeart Foundation (on
Facebook, too) in California
that takes in abused, neglected and mistreated pit
bulls and other pets, feeds and socializes them then puts them up for adoption
to the right families.
Blair is a vegetarian-turned vegan author (Going Vegan!)*
who can be found interviewing perspective adopters for an hour to make just the right match!

Blair wrote an inspiring foreward to Lost Souls: Found! Inspiring
Stories about Pit Bulls (see previous review). She describes how she and
her dog were returning home from a walk when they find they are being followed
by a pit bull. They race home to safety and look out the window to see the dog
relaxing in their front yard. Eventually he made it into their home and heart by
lying down behind the couch after playing a round of the zoomies with Blair’s
own pup. Like Buster Brown and Our Gang’s own Petey, Blair’s new family member
soon changed her life for the better.
“I hope these passionate
accounts will inspire you to lend a hand, whether that means donating to Pit
Bull rescue, fostering, adopting, or simply correcting others who wish to
slander these dogs. Every little bit counts, and each one of us who commits to
correcting the way these dogs have been wronged will be another breath of wind
that turns the tide of justice.” (p. 12)
Just as Linda Blair has found her second career, you, too can help dogs find their second (and forever) home. Start by reading this book!
