Book description
Sitting with Dogs is the kind of book that feels like a warm hug from the inside out. Written by social-media star and dog-rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka, it's a collection of nine heart-wrenching yet hopeful stories about dogs who were abandoned, neglected, or simply left on the wrong side of life's road. Each chapter follows a different pup-from Flip, the first rescue that set Rocky on his lifelong mission, to Macy, whose emaciated frame almost spelled doom-through the moments that change their lives forever.
What makes this book truly special is not just the raw, candid storytelling but the way Kanaka shows us that transformation starts with patience and a gentle touch. He never relies on jargon or technical dog-training advice; instead he shares the quiet conversations, the small acts of kindness, and the unspoken bond that develops when you sit beside an animal in need. Readers see how a simple act-like holding a trembling pup for a few minutes-can rebuild trust and spark hope.
Kanaka's voice is approachable and engaging, making it easy even for those who have never owned a dog to feel invested in these stories. He explains the practical steps he takes in shelters, from assessing health needs to creating a calm environment that encourages dogs to let down their guard. The book ends on an uplifting note: you don't need to be a professional vet or seasoned rescuer; with love and a little time, anyone can make a difference.
If you're looking for a read that will leave you smiling, feeling inspired, and maybe even motivated to volunteer at your local shelter, Sitting with Dogs delivers all of that-and then some. It's a reminder that every dog deserves a second chance, and that sometimes the most powerful change comes from simply sitting down and listening.
