(Hardcover)
Photographer Traer Scott’s endearing portraits of dogs living in American shelters are irresistible and heart-rending -- and make a passionate appeal to dog lovers everywhere. Some of the dogs subsequently found good homes; others were never adopted. The portraits reveal the strikingly intense emotion, dignity and, sometimes, humour and whimsy that Scott saw in each face despite the dog’s circumstances. By documenting the undeniable expressions of emotion in the dogs encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue causes, and especially the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned dogs. This book of true portraits of fifty beautiful shelter dogs is a poignant and loving tribute to all dogs.

January 18, 2008: This book captures the expressions of various shelter dogs through the author's photography. It also gives you an update on the fate of some of these dogs. It is definitely a book worth checking out even if you are not a big dog/animal lover. There should be a copy of this book in every veterinarian's waiting room...I made sure there was one placed in my vet's waiting room.
