Sometimes! By sheer grit, Annie made her life into something (literally) unbelievable. Peter Zheutlin, author of two books about Annie, shares the tale of a woman who “didn’t run away to join the circus; she became the circus.” … The post THE ROUND-THE-WORLD CYCLIST Annie Londonderry appeared first on What'shername.

We spoke with Peter Zheutlin to hear the story. Fly GirlsGuest: Keith O'Brien, journalist and author, “Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History”Amelia Earhart wasn't the only pioneering female pilot in the skies in the '20s and '30s. She was the president of The Ninety-Nines, a group of women who were all licensed pilots. They came from different backgrounds, but they all supported each other in their pursuit of flying. But that doesn't mean that they didn't compete against each other as well in the race for prizes and accolades in air races and record-breaking feats of daring. 

Tracy Edwards was a high school dropout who became a female sailing legend. Peter Zheutlin separates the facts and fiction of Annie Londonderry's bike ride around the world. Keith O'Brien shares the stories of lesser-known "fly girls" who flew alongside Amelia Earhart in the 1920s and '30s.

Peter Zheutlin (pronounced ZOYT-Lynn) "Rescued is a wide-ranging and intensely moving meditation on sharing one's life with adopted dogs. Peter Zheutlin is one of the few journalists who have taken on the complex world of animal rescue and actually gotten it right." —Bronwen Dickey, author of Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon September is Puppy Mill Awareness Month October is Adopt-A-Dog Month November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month “The canine overpopulation problem is vast -- there are over a million strays living on the streets of Houston alone,” writes New York Times-bestselling author Peter Zheutlin in chapter 1 from his new book RESCUED: What Second-Chance Dogs Teach us About Living with Purpose, Loving with Abandon, and Finding Joy in the Little Things (on sale October 3, 2017; TarcherPerigee paperback). Zheutlin has considerable on the ground experience with Houston’s stray dog problem and has worked closely with the local shelters and rescue organizations there, including the SPCA of Brazoria County (which was evacuated today due to the failing levee) and Houston’s Shaggy Dog Rescue. Peter will also talk about pet loss, abandonment, and rescue efforts in Texas. About the book: In this follow up to Rescue Road (which spent five consecutive months on the New York Times bestseller list), Zheutlin interweaves heartwarming and humorous stories, lessons, and advice from countless families who have welcomed second-chance dogs into their homes and the transformative effect of these adoptions. Inspiring anecdotes from the book include: · the left-for-dead dogs Noah and Noelle who were abandoned in Houston’s notorious Melrose Park and found second-life chances in Brooklyn, NY and Massachusetts, respectively; · how a rescue dog in a Florida prison program helped one ex-convict get his life back on track, · a Connecticut community that found therapeutic comfort in the local dogs following 9/11 and Sandy Hook, · when dogs help empty nesters, sixty-somethings, and seniors find greater energy, keep mentally fit, and live with renewed vigor, · and an NFL player who purposefully sought out a “hard-to-adopt” dog from his local shelter who had been overlooked, among many others. This book perfectly captures the lifelong friendship, humorous non-Hallmark moments, and endearing quirks and characteristics of these once-lost souls that will resonate with any pet owner. PETER ZHEUTLIN is a freelance journalist and bestselling author based in Dover, MA, whose work appears regularly in national publications, including The Boston Globe and The Christian Science Monitor. Zheutlin has also written for The LA Times, Parade Magazine, AARP Magazine and numerous other national newspapers and magazines.

Our Pit Bull series begins on Thursday, August 25. Join us!! Some of our upcoming guests Noelani Guerrero http://www.urbansuburbanapparel.com Zach Skow http://www.marleysmutts.org Belinda Morrison http://www.bemorefitness.com Dr. Sara Kelly http://cenlaanimals.com Sophie Gamand http://www.sophiegamand.com We hope you take the time to learn more about pit bulls and some of the people who work hard to rescue these wonderful dogs. Each dog is an individual, so one suggestion we make is to take the time to get to know your animal. You might find that pit bulls are terrific companions and are ready to change your life in a positive way. The overcrowded conditions in many animal shelters often highlights the problems pit bulls present for animal rescue. They are some of the most overbred dogs, and because of their controversial reputation of dog bites and association with dog fighting, are sometimes considered less desirable by prospective adopters. This can cause tremendous suffering, as some pit bulls stay in shelters for years, or are euthanized. You'll hear stories of those who work with pit bulls directly and listen to their experiences with animals of all sorts, including pit bulls.

This is the extraordinary story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse, and neglect and give them a second chance at life and love. For years, Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was broke and unsure what to do next. This was when a stranded van-load of puppies changed his life forever. Join journalist Peter Zheutlin as he travels with Greg from Ohio to the Gulf Coast on his Rescue Road Trips. They bring hard-luck dogs from the Deep South to loving "forever families"who are looking to adopt a pet, with the help of many selfless volunteers along the way. From Houston's impoverished Fifth Ward—where thousands of strays roam the streets—and high-kill animal shelters in Louisiana, to joyous scenes of adopters embracing their new pups in the Northeast, Rescue Road is full of heart. It's an inspiring story about the unique bond between dogs and humans, and how going the extra mile can make a life-changing difference for these loyal canines—and for us all.

We talk to author Peter Zheutlin about his discovery of the complex world of animal rescue through the adoption of his dog Albie. He describes the process of meeting, following, and ultimately writing a book about Greg Mahle and other animal rescue heroes, as well as the ups and downs of a writer's life.   Book Peter Zheutlin's New York Times and Amazon best-seller, Rescue Road: One Man, Thirty Thousand Dogs, and a Million Miles on the Last Hope Highway, records the journey of Greg Mahle, who drives a truck 26 times a year to save thousands of dogs. You also get to know many other heroes - the folks on the front lines of rescue - who visit shelters, search for strays, and sacrifice much of their lives to benefit dogs. People like Keri Bullock Toth, Kelle Davis, and Alicia McCarty, among many others. We featured Greg Mahle in Episode 9.

Parade Magazine's Facebook post that Peter refers to during the interview. The response the post generated gave Peter the idea that Greg Mahle and animal rescue could be good subjects for a book.

Greg Mahle of Rescue Road Trips shares his story of dedication to his family, including his wife Adella, and to thousands of dogs over the years.   Approximately twenty-six times a year, or every other week, Greg and one hired driver take a seven-day journey from Ohio to Southern states like Texas and Louisiana to fill up a tractor trailer with up to seventy dogs. They then head to Northeastern states like Pennsylvania and Connecticut to deliver each dog to their respective permanent or "forever" homes. That's a 4,200 mile round-trip, every two weeks!   Learn more about Greg's story, such as WHY he has made this journey every two weeks for years, the ups and downs of life on the road with a huge pack of dogs in a truck, and the many dedicated people who help make these road trips successful.   Donate (Donate here!)
