The Diary of Lucy Blue: A Puppy Mill Survivor’s Story by Janice Mitchell
Review by McGuffyAnn M. (nightprose) 
I was attracted to this book for several reasons. I love animals and am an animal advocate. I have almost always had dogs, including Shelties, and cannot imagine buying from a puppy mill.
Lucy Blue was rescued from a puppy mill. She was taken in by Second Chance Sheltie Rescue. From there, Janice Mitchell took Lucy Blue as a foster dog. So began Lucy Blue’s road to recovery and that of a normal life.
This book is so much more than just a diary. It tells of the experiences with Lucy Blue and her rehabilitation and healing process. We learn of the methods Janice uses for Lucy Blue and the reasoning behind the methods. We learn what works for these special dogs and why. We are given access to a proven process and see the results. We see Lucy Blue’s growth and healing, of both her body and her spirit.
The book will make you cry and it will make you think. Lucy Blue made it out of a puppy mill, but there are many who do not. I wish everyone could and would read this book. We need to put an end to puppy mills and those who support them.
This sounds like a great book, I will put this book on my reminder list. I agree that there should be a end to puppy mills.
I agree on hating puppy mills, and the picture on the cover is soooo sad!! I also love Shelties and have had one in the house from the day I was born!
