Our four-legged friends have huge hearts. Experience the joy of this collection of true-life stories of humans and the amazing dogs who saved them. Carmen Leal never dreamed tragedy could bring positive change. Suffering a traumatic brain injury after a car wreck, the marketing pro struggled to find her center and reclaim her life. But after finally caving in and adopting a rescue dog, her world changed forever.
Flourishing on her new furry friend’s unconditional love, she turned her talents to supporting canines still facing grim futures. Working tirelessly over the course of four years, she’s helped find homes for over 6,500 dogs and collected endless tales of wonderment and triumph.
Now, she’s here to share the real-life stories of how a deep connection with these incredible animals can bring fulfillment and joy. In this heartwarming compilation, author and storyteller Carmen Leal interweaves her personal journey with those who’ve experienced renewal at the paws of the dogs they adopted. Bringing together over sixty snapshots, Leal connects both dramatic and simply sweet accounts, including her own, while advocating for help and donating a portion of each sale to a foster-to-adoption group.
When
Love Wags a Tail
is part emotional memoir and part treasure trove of inspirational and humorous
journeys. If you like protecting loyal friends who lack a voice, feel-good
adventures, and giving back, then you’ll adore Carmen Leal’s touching read.

Carmen relocated from Hawaii to Oshkosh, yes, there is a story behind the move,
and has become an awesome dog mom. Carmen and her husband have become reluctant
gardeners and, sadly, they know a crazy amount about Wisconsin weeds. She is
the mother of Coconut, the best imperfectly perfect rescue dog in the world.
Carmen

complete lack of research or knowledge, she ended up with Coconut, the rescue
who was and continues to be perfect for her.

neighborhood association's leadership team, and is an adjunct professor for Fox
