From Booklist

Andy Carpenter, the lawyer-hero of several of Rosenfelt’s crime novels, is an unabashed dog lover who will go out on a limb to rescue a mutt in trouble. He gets that from his creator, who has amassed a large family of rescued dogs over the years—25 of them, to be exact, all of whom, as recounted in this frequently very funny book, were recently piled into three RVs and moved cross-country, from California to Maine. But this isn’t just the story of the world’s furriest road trip; it’s also the saga of how Rosenfelt met the woman who would become his wife and who, with her passion for dogs, changed Rosenfelt’s life in ways he couldn’t possibly have imagined. Fans of the Carpenter novels will recognize the author’s familiar writing style: relaxed and lightly funny but serious when the moment calls for it (as when Tara, Rosenfelt’s wife’s dog, dies: those pages will bring a tear to a dog-lover’s eyes). Spirited and absolutely absorbing reading for fans of canine capers—both fictional and otherwise. --David Pitt

Review

"When was the last time you laughed out loud? When is the last time you cried tears of genuine sadness? When was the last time you did both while reading a 260-page memoir? Dogtripping is a delightful romp through [the] adventures — and misadventures — of running a dog rescue...As a dog lover, it's hard to know whether his stories will resonate with those less fond of his furry four-legged friends, but because Rosenfelt very well could be the funniest American author alive today, it's certainly worth a try. He's charming, likable, self-deprecating, self-aware and utterly hysterical. Be careful where you read this one because you could invoke serious stares from strangers who may think you've lost your mind. If it's been too long since you enjoyed a funny, sweet, romantic tale, read this book."—Associated Press

"A story as poignant as it is hilarious."—Library Journal (starred review)

"A warmhearted winner."—Kirkus Reviews

"Fans of the Carpenter novels will recognize the author's familiar writing style: relaxed and lightly funny, but serious when the moment calls for it...Spirited and absolutely absorbing reading for fans of canine capers—both fictional and otherwise."—Booklist

"Dogtripping is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and want to adopt a dog from the nearest shelter—all on the same page. Rosenfelt's extraordinary narrative style makes it fantastically easy to read in one sitting; in fact it's difficult to put down. Dogtripping contains Rosenfelt's signature style, filled with self-depracating comments and wry humor. It's funny, poignant, and at times, downright sad. In short—it's wonderful." —The Examiner

"An uplifting story that exemplifies the compassion and dedication which are at the heart of the selflessness, serious work, and vital importance of rescue, told with humor and a refreshing sense of self-deprecation."—Larry Levin, New York Times bestselling author of Oogy: The Dog Only A Family Could Love

"Dogtripping is a hoot! Laugh out loud funny, heartfelt and courageous, David Rosenfelt penned a gleefully sideways addition to the adventure travel canon."--Steven Kotler, bestselling author of A Small Furry Prayer and Abundance

"Dogtripping is an affectionate and witty journey."—Luis Carlos Montalván, New York Times bestselling author of Until Tuesday

"Dogtripping contains a lot of great words—but my favorite is the one that David Rosenfelt refuses to write. He does not know the meaning of ‘unadoptable.’ His dedication to dog rescue infuses every page with life’s greatest lessons, of love and caring."—Kim Kavin, author of Little Boy Blue

This is a wonderfully told humorous road trip story about a couple, the author David Rosenfelt and his wife Debbie, plus 11 true friends who helped them moved their 25 rescued dogs of various lineages from Orange County, CA to near Damariscotta Lake, Maine using three rented RVs in 2011.

As the author says early in the story on page 4, "[T]he difference between an ordeal and an adventure is attitude. That's how I knew I was in for an ordeal."

In self-deprecating and humble style the author states that 25 is probably the smallest number of dogs they had at any one time in the ten years prior to their cross country adventure, with 42 being the maximum number and 31/32 being about the average. He also gives full credit to the other males in his party as being real men, while he generally portrays himself as a bit of a nebbish in the vein of Woody Allen.

The author and Debbie started a non-profit dog rescue called the TARA Foundation in honor of Debbie's best dog of all time, a golden she still longs for. David and Debbie keep Tara alive by writing her into his Andy Carpenter series in which Tara started off as a 7yo Golden and elven years later has only aged to 9yo. The author says she will never get serous sick or hurt in his novels, nor will she ever die, but she may miraculously get younger if it suits him. :)

An idea of the clean type of humor told throughout the book is the experience the author had in trying to book some rooms outside Salt Lake City prior to the move back East. When the motel clerk told him there would be a 50.00/pet cleaning deposit for each dog under 30 pounds and 75.
