I received a nice email from Traer Scott today with a press release on her new book Street Dogs that comes out this month that I have yet to get, but cant wait!!
STREET DOGS
Traer Scott
The stunning follow-up to Merrell’s bestseller Shelter Dogs, featuring over 90 portraits and outdoor photographs of dogs living on city streets
“Scott’s haunting portrait album bares the souls of these unclaimed but unassailably dignified animals.” – People
“Beautiful portraits that just might save the lives of hundreds of other dogs.” – Life
Merrell Publishers is pleased to present Street Dogs by Traer Scott, the author of Merrell’s bestselling book Shelter Dogs, to be released in October 2007
Street Dogs combines over 90 of Scott’s irresistible signature close-up portraits of dogs with stunning, dynamic, and unforgettable outdoor photographs of dogs living on the streets, caring for one another, seeking food or being fed, wandering, and even playing.
Scott traveled to Puerto Rico and Mexico to capture remarkable and soulful photographs of dogs living alone or in packs on city streets. Since many street dogs were formerly pets, they are often friendly, approachable, and eager to be adopted into new homes. As Scott documents in her eloquent introduction, she witnessed and assisted in the rescue of many of the dogs she photographed for this book. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Puerto Rican, Latin American, and US organizations, many of these dogs have now been adopted into new homes in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Some are being given the medical care they need before they can be permanently placed for adoption into private homes; others will be given life-long shelter in the compounds of rescue centers, where volunteers lovingly care for them.
By documenting not only the plight but also the unique characters of just some of the many dogs she has encountered in her travels, Scott raises awareness of animal welfare causes, particularly the need for rescue efforts and adoptive homes for street dogs.
Also included is a mini biography of many dogs featured, with details about their rescue and journey to a new home, and contact information on charities devoted to street dogs.
Scott has the inimitable knack of drawing you into an animal's plight—not by devastating you—rather, by arousing and inspiring concern and compassion by revealing the soulful personality of dogs, despite their circumstances.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).
