Book Summary
Growing up in beautiful Bohemian 1970s Marin County, the daughter of a funny pawnbroker-jeweler with vision who knew the streets and a warm, independent Mom turned Naturalist-Animal Rights Activist, Roz is an award-winning actress who spent 20 years in NYC, where she worked on stages from the size of a postage-stamp to Broadway.
Roz begins Who Saved Who with her unique parents and upbringing which is so crucial in understanding both her and her journey during 2022. While living in a post-Pandemic world, her career on hold and with politics and the environment in a persistent state of toxic tension, there was little left of life to be desired, so believed Marin County raised and NYC ripened Roz. Told through words, pictures, and video, “Who Saved Who” is an honest, sometimes funny, many times moving, and ultimately joyous journey of 2022 with a woman who was lost. With messages from the Other Side and the words that her Mother said to her years ago, “We save dogs,
Roz, that’s what we do,” Roz was able to climb out of deep sadness and found a purpose ignited she didn’t know was flickering inside. In “Who Saved Who,” readers may recognize their own journey in loving dogs – perhaps heal themselves from the loss of their own beloved furry family member – and best of all, readers may find their hearts open to saving their next canine companion. “Who Saved Who” does more than warm the heart, it can help heal the spirit. It’s an easy and fulfilling read – paws down.

My Review:
Who Saved Who by Roslyn Cohn is an endearing memoir of one's love and relationship with pets that have become family. It is an immediate give away for pet lovers to love and identify with Roz. Though I no longer care for a dog, I know how deep the connection can be had between humans have for man's best friend. Apparently, I am now a "cat mom". Despite the difference, I definitely understand how caring for a fur baby can have therapeutic benefits.
Cohn has enumerated many areas of challenges in her life journey shared with her fur babies. It is with humor and grace that she meet them one at a time. In the end, caring for a pet and being cared by them in return can be personally transformative. By reading her memoir, I take on a more expansive understanding of a culture different from mine, but the love that can be found in the big and small moments cuts across people and continents.
