From Akitas to Weimaraners, from Florida to Oregon,
"That Dog Won't Hunt!" tells the true stories of ten lucky rescued
dogs.
 |
Bo, the buck-toothed Beagle, is the cover dog. Rescued by Triangle Beagle Rescue of NC from a local shelter, Bo was surrendered to the shelter by his owner, a hunter, because he wouldn't hunt. Bongo, as he is now known, is living the good life as a totally pampered pet. Bo's story is just one of ten stories of dogs saved by rescue groups. I have included not only breed specific rescue groups, but also non-breed specific groups. |
The dogs featured in the book are: Daisy, an English Bulldog from Operation K9 Rescue in California; Jefferson, a mixed breed lab and basset hound from Second Chance Pet Adoption in North Carolina; Samson, an Akita from Western Great Lakes Akita Rescue in Wisconsin; Red Bull, a pit bull from Animals at Risk Care Sanctuary in California; Buddy, a lab from LABMED in Florida; Dodger, a greyhound from Second Chance for Greyhounds in Michigan; Whitney, a German Shepherd from Stepping Stone German Shepherd Rescue in Kentucky; Paul, a Weimaraner from Silver Rain Weimaraner in Oregon; and lastly Brandy, a Bullmastiff from American Bullmastiff Association Rescuein New Jersey. As I did with my first book, I will give 30% of the sale of the book back to rescue groups or shelters. The overall message is loud and clear: these "recycled dogs" bring great joy to their new families. We also extol the value of a good belly rub. |
