About this listen
Every book sold helps save a life.
A portion of profits goes directly to Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue — the same rescue at the heart of this award-winning story.
4,000 Dogs. One Garage. No Backup.
When Deputy Keith Benning took a job in rural North Dakota, he never imagined his garage would become ground zero for a grassroots animal rescue movement. But with 70+ strays showing up each month and no local shelter in sight, Keith and a ragtag team of volunteers stepped up.
Over four years, they rescued thousands of animals — and sacrificed everything to do it.
A True Story of Grit, Purpose, and Radical Compassion
💥 An award-winning, real-life animal rescue memoir
🐾 For readers who love Oogy and The Art of Racing in the Rain
📚 A must-read for animal lovers, rescue advocates, and those who believe one person can make a difference.
He lost his marriage. A fellow officer. Nearly his own life.
But in the face of burnout, heartbreak, and impossible odds, Keith proved that one determined human — and a garage — can spark a revolution.

A gripping story of how TMAR started
TMAR holds a special place in my heart. I have followed and volunteered tor years. This book helps you understand the beginnings and some of its evolution. It helps you understand the community they serve and you hear the stories of many animals from the beginning. You can feel the dedication and passion that Keith Benning and his crew of volunteers have for animal rescue. This book takes you from operating out of a house to the garage and shows the growth of the rescue over the first years. I cried at the wins of lives saved and the losses of those that we were too late for or didn’t have room for. This book is well narrated and you can enjoy this story while you’re cleaning your house, out for a walk or driving. Come along with TMAR and get pulled into our story. There’s so much more to come!

Dogs. Because people suck. Audiobooks. Because reading is hard.
This is one of my all time fav books and I was so excited to see it’s now an audiobook! I was suprised how good it was for being AI narration. As a full time house keeper I listen to a ton of audiobooks. This was the best AI narration I’ve heard and actually better than some audiobooks read by humans. Full cast of voices too! I’ve read this book 3 times but I still learn something new and am reminded why rescue matters. CJ is the reason I am proud to own a TMAR pup of my own. Thank you CJ for telling such an important story and inspiring me to be on the right side of history. 🩷
