The Rescue at Dead Dog Beach

One Man's Dangerous Quest to Save the Forgotten Dogs of Puerto Rico

By: Stephen McGarva

The “heartbreaking . . . deeply-moving” story of the heroic crusade to save Puerto Rico’s stray dogs, and an impassioned appeal to help all animals in need (Daily Mail). Looking for inspiration and adventure in their lives, Steve McGarva and his wife Pam moved to Puerto Rico. While kite surfing at Playa Lucia, Steve made a shocking discovery—a sick and abandoned dog—that would transform his life. With its shimmering white sand, palm trees, and dazzling azure water, the beach looked postcard perfect. But its beauty hid a dark side: To the locals, this slice of paradise was known as Dead Dog Beach—a notorious dumping ground for the island’s unwanted canines. Considered a threat to the area’s lucrative tourism industry, these defenseless animals were in constant danger of brutality and death. Enraged, and refusing to accept such cruelty, McGarva began protecting these helpless animals—actions that would jeopardize his marriage, challenge his sanity, and make him a target of locals determined to stop him. The Rescue at Dead Dog Beach is the story of Steve’s fearless dedication to hundreds of dogs, and his efforts to expose their systemic abuse. Exposing the true costs of the tourist industry, it is also a call to arms for animal lovers, offering insights and practical information to help strays anywhere in the world. “Stephen McGarva moved to Puerto Rico in search of sun and fun. What he found was a new purpose: saving the island’s abandoned dogs.” —People “This is an amazing story.” —Ellen DeGeneres

Rotten to its Core

By: Stephen Hayes

Fearlessly whistleblowing, shining a spotlight on the Police and the embedded rotten culture of dishonesty, wanton misogyny, statistical fabrication and evidence corruption. The author, an ex Manchester police officer has chosen to highlight the Greater Manchester Police, said to have "lost its moral compass" by an ex Detective Superintendent and is "Rotten to its Core" by a leading Kings Council. This book is a contextual hard hitting, factual expose of alleged police leadership, with a continual backdrop of corruption, evidence fabrication, lies and training failures during a lengthy period of 'service' of seven naively selected Chief Constables of Greater Manchester Police. All successively 'defending the indefensible' in their own style but growing to mammoth proportions, and yet still unrecognized by choice at Government levels. The accepted status quo amongst Chief Constables and Senior Officers continued to promote the lies, fabrication of statistics and evidence. All whilst wallowing in the cesspit of corruption, built over many years with a blasé acceptance of being untouchable and if at all investigated internally by similar perpetrators. The National Media whilst dutifully reporting recent popular prosecutions of lowly Constables at the 'pointed end' for a wide variety of hitherto ignored and accepted criminal practices does not recognize the historical basis. The fact that the current higher ranks, proclaiming disgust, were once lowly constables indulging in what was always accepted practices and now hidden from the public gaze with an air of recent 'successes'.... Short and very selective memories, comes to mind.
