About this listen
FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, award-winning author Sunny Weber worked at the heart of animal welfare: in shelters, classrooms, clinics, and barns; beside hospital beds and at state parks; and while lobbying for animal welfare laws. Her work touched the lives of many, both human and animal, and many stole her heart.
But none was as distinctive as Brillo, a wiry little dog with a big attitude and oversized feet. He came to Sunny as a complicated medical foster, a dog everyone was afraid would not make it.
In Sunny's care, Brillo found more than safety—he found purpose. He became a guiding light for the wounded, the unwanted, and the lost. Side by side, Sunny and Brillo fostered, trained, and re-homed over two hundred dogs, cats, horses, and birds.
Told through poignant, often humorous, always heartfelt stories, Skookumchoocher is a tribute to the fearful ones, the forgotten ones, and the delicate, unseen work of saving lives.

"Weber narrates such events with a steady hand, guiding readers through the animals' trials and her own tribulations...Animal lovers will find a trusted voice in these pages—one that calls to mind that of the late, great veterinarian/storyteller James Herriot."—Kirkus Reviews
