A comforting book you will remember forever. Very convincing that change was a necessity for captive beagle dogs, caught not of their doing of misbehaving; - rather, strictly harsh big business at work. Here is testimony of what one volunteer witnessed upon receiving just one of these animals - "It took over 20 minutes to coax the first beagle out of his cage. When finally, it took his first step of freedom, he was wobbly and could barely walk from lack of muscle tone. It wasn't until I walked over to the other beagle, still shaking in his cage, and touched his nose, that the other one gingerly took his first steps outside." "The realization that these dogs are so neglected and abused and HIDDEN was awakening. I had no idea how hard it would be for them to adjust to the outside world. But they did.... And since then, hundreds of others we have rescued have done just that. They have not only adjusted, but thrived and are LOVING LIFE."

From Cage to Couch, a true story of rescue is an emotional, sometimes hilarious rollercoaster ride of the laboratory test beagle we rescued from Spain, once known as Number 7, he became our Chief. Have you ever seen the footage of laboratory beagles released from their cages for the first time after years of being test subjects? Those tentative, un-natural steps said, "There's a world outside this cage and I want you to help me find it." The obstacles Chief had to overcome that a "regular" dog doesn't included learning to eat and drink from a bowl, how to wag his tail, how to play, and how to interact with his new pack, to name just a few. That first year he touched our lives - forever. This isn't just about Chief's journey, but mine as well; learning to relax and let go of the control panel, be open to learning life's lessons from a gangly "lab rat" beagle dog - now our beautiful 'Chief'
