I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber. This book stole my animal loving heart. This isn’t my usually reading but I simply pass it up. This book was definitely well written. Daisy is just one of the many animals out there who have hard stories to tell. I found myself of the verge of tears more than once. As an animal lover it’s hard to hear or imagine what they can be put through. I found this book to be full of great information and that’s what the world could use more of. The cover is also another reason I picked this book up it’s definitely a beautiful cover. I’ll definitely be giving more thought to these types of books as we could all use more information in our lives. Four big stars and highly recommended!
