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.

Joy and heartbreak in living a dog-filled life.
Who Saved Who by Roslyn Cohn is a memoir and loving tribute to the author’s canine companions and her beloved parents who encouraged her on her path to loving and rescuing dogs needing a forever home. While the years of COVID and after haven’t been easy for anyone, 2022 was a remarkably difficult one for the author; one she first shared via Facebook, gaining numerous followers, and now with readers in this book, which compiles the events of that year.
Roslyn had always had dogs, and they were integral to her growing up and becoming the woman she is today. As the book’s synopsis mentioned, her mother had a mantra, “We save dogs, Roz; that’s what we do.” The author took this to heart and does exactly that. In the meantime, the animals she was saving also pulled her through her own hard times.
For all the unconditional love dogs give and the joy they are to have around, we humans tend to outlive our four-legged best friends. In 2022, Roslyn lost two long-time companions: Fluke, her doggy soulmate, and Diva, the last of the dogs that had been her parents before they passed away. Her descriptions of the dogs’ health situations, decline, and treatment are detailed, and her writing conveys her feelings. The story is emotionally gutting as she struggles to decide the right actions to take in caring for them with THEIR best interests at heart, even consulting an animal communicator to enlist aid from pets and people who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge or gone to the other side.
The story continues when she adopts a bonded pair of dogs who have languished too long at a nearby shelter, opening her heart and home to Maui and Kona. A new journey begins but is not without its own dramatic turns.
The author has crafted a loving picture of her life with her dogs, the highs and lows, the joys and pain. She writes openly and honestly, sharing deeply and baring all her thoughts and feelings. Her writing style is stream-of-consciousness-like and tends to move quickly from one topic to another or skip back and forth in time as thoughts spill out, which may not be everyone’s taste. The raw emotion was palpable and tough to handle at times; it was very relatable.
I recommend WHO SAVED WHO to readers of memoirs and emotional dog stories.
