Pearl, a Plott hound mix, is nine months old when she enters the life of author Charlotte Legge. This tail-wagging cutie, black with brindle legs, ears, and face, is a rescue who was severely neglected and had contracted parvo, a terrible puppy disease. In Pearl the Plott, Legge shares the journey of how Pearl started life as a stray street puppy and came to be a beloved, happy, and healthy family member. She tells how she researched rescue dogs and shelters and decided it was a way for her to contribute and give back. Pearl, originally named Harriet, was Legge's first foster dog and was quickly adopted. Pearl the Plott chronicles how a puppy transitioned from a sick, little tail-wagging stray to the beautiful sweet dog she is today. Pearl is now an expert at welcoming new foster dogs into Legge's home and helping teach them the skills they need to become a family pet.
