Dead Dogs Talk — Nancy M. Bell

Little did Laurel Rowan know where the discovery of an injured dog would lead her. The dark world of dog fighting rings and the unsavoury characters who surround them are a stark awakening for the Alberta teen.

Volunteering at a local animal rescue helps her come to terms with some of the things, but Laurel won't stop until she's done all she can to rescue those animals in danger.

She's horrified to find out her childhood friend Chance is involved up to his neck in the mess, but now he's trying to get out and help Laurel all he can. Trouble is lurking around each corner.
