When journalist and animal welfare advocate Michelle Sathe turns 40, she bypasses a midlife crisis for a cross-country journey.  But this isn’t just any road trip.  Along for the ride is Loren, a rescued pit bull whom Michelle fell in love with while volunteering at The Brittany Foundation dog rescue in Agua Dulce.
In the newly released “Pit Stops: Crossing the Country with Loren the Rescue Bully,” Michelle and Loren travel 29 states in 50 days to explore historical and natural landmarks, sample regional cuisine, and have some fun.  Along the way, the duo meet with incredible advocates, volunteers and humane workers.  They also encounter pit bull prejudice and the sad truth facing beleaguered bully breeds in America.
Mile by mile, Michelle and Loren forge a bond that only 24/7 togetherness can create.  Their exploits take readers along on an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, sadness, insight and ultimately, hope.
“Pit Stops” is available for $15 exclusively at www.pitstopsbook.com.  One dollar from each book will be donated to The Brittany Foundation.  Order a copy of “Pit Stops,” together with a special, limited edition Loren bookmark for $20 and Michelle will donate $5 to the rescue of your choice.
