84 Paws: A Life with Old Labs

At 84 years of age, Barbara Travis Osgood decided to publish a book. Through this autobiographical collection of short stories, she shares funny, sad, and always intimate moments from a life with senior Labrador Retrievers. 84 Paws is more than a story about rescuing twenty-one elderly labs. It is the story about a woman with bipolar disorder, who, against all odds, saved herself. As it chronicles her enormous successes and her heart-wrenching plunges into darkness, it introduces readers to a cast of funny, furry, feisty senior labs who have occupied Barbara's home and heart, showing how she turned her love of labs into the best of all possible therapies. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Lab Rescue LRCP, for the rescue and care of senior labs.
