4 The Love Of Animals
OCTOBER 8, 2010
A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. It took nine years for my picture book, THE BLUE HOUSE DOG, (Peachtree Publishers/August 1, 2010) to come out. The boy was wounded by his loss, just as the homeless dog was wounded when his owner died.

New Lives: Stories of Rescued Dogs Helping, Healing and Giving Hope is a great new book that celebrates rescue dogs. The author says: While writing this book, my eyes were opened to how many truly amazing animal shelters and organizations are making a difference. Would you like a chance to win a copy of this great book?

From Barnes and Noble : "Wirral the Squirrel is homeless. Sir Paul McCartney, children's book author Geoff Dunbar, and children's book artist Philip Ardagh have created a beautiful book with an ever-timely message.". But if I were to be critical about the narrative of the book, I'd say there's a lot missing there too.

This book has so many great quotes that I'm going to have to write a couple of posts about them. And perhaps my favorite: "[I]f healthy, homeless humans were rounded up and killed, no one would call the killing facilities 'shelters'" (55). Tags: Books Ethics Language. Off we go (and all of the below are exact quotes).

Similarly, choose a breed that doesn’t need much brushing and grooming.

All photos were rejected – none of them was considered worth publication in the book accompanying the competition, let alone worth an award. While it is laudable to point out the plight of homeless woodpeckers, this is hardly the right subject for an upbeat bird photo contest. My wife tells me this all the time.
