Book Description
A moving, delightful collection of stories that celebrate the canine-human bond. In this heart-warming work, we reunite with the lovable rescue dog and subject of the cherished book Arthur as he settles into his new life abroad. As we follow Arthur’s ups and downs with his owner, author Mikael Lindnord, we also meet sixteen other rescue dogs, each with a surprising story of how they found their forever home. From Ecuador to America, Australia to the Yukon, and everywhere in between, remarkable canine encounters prove that dogs really are our best friends—and that their journeys to find love and acceptance are as compelling as our most famed human tales. Praise for Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home by Mikael Lindnord: “[A] miraculous tale.” —Washington Post “An incredible journey.” —Daily Telegraph "A heroic and heartwarming story." —Forbes

Book Description
“No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. You’ll meet endearing elders like Marnie, the irresistible shih tzu who has posed for selfies with Tina Fey, James Franco, and Betty White; Remy, a soulful nine-year-old dog adopted by elderly nuns; George Clooney’s cocker spaniel, Einstein; and Bretagne, the last known surviving search dog from Ground Zero. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.
