Saved by the Pack: How 50 Dogs Helped Me Find My Purpose

Meet Lee Asher, social media star and founder of The Asher House animal sanctuary, in this inspiring and beautifully photographed narrative about finding his purpose through the lens of 50 amazing animal rescues.

Dog lovers will delight in the heartwarming stories of redemption and rehabilitation for these remarkable animals.

Since 2020, Lee Asher has rescued more than 1,000 dogs and reached social media popularity with the pack at The Asher House, a nonprofit animal sanctuary in Oregon. In this beautifully illustrated book, photographed by National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey, Asher shares the intimate journey that led him to rescue animals and inspire others to do good in the world, from his tumultuous childhood struggling with ADHD and bullies to a crushing corporate job that urged him to find his true purpose.

Through the stories of 50 dogs (and a few cats, horses, and pigs), Asher demonstrates the power of possibility when your heart is in the right place. Refreshingly honest, this is the tale of his challenges, dedication, and sacrifice—and his hope to encourage others to bring good into the world.

The stories of 50 lovable animals include fan favorites such as:

Bo, the energetic chocolate Lab who reminded Asher to never give up
Bradley, the blind husky rescued from a kill shelter in the nick of time
Lilly, a Saint Bernard who overcame weeks spent in a shelter cage to become a leader of the pack and Asher’s forever heart dog
Matilda, a mixed breed with cerebellar hypoplasia who inspired Asher to defy expectations
Tommy, an English bulldog who has become the class clown of the pack

This is a keepsake every dog lover and pet owner will want for their coffee table.

This book is available for pre-order and will be released on September 29, 2026.
