About this item
More than 6.5 million unwanted pets enter animal shelters each year, greatly overwhelming available resources. In this book, author and award-winning photographer Margaret Bryant tells the story of some of those dogs who were lucky enough to be rescued and find their forever homes. Readers will enjoy a range of inspiring and feel-good tales -- plus over 150 unique, personality-filled portraits -- that show the way dogs enrich the lives of people young and old, teach humans how to slow down and live life, show humans how to have fun, protect their people from danger, and serve as our lifetime companions in this journey we call life. There's also plenty of information about getting started in making a difference in homeless dogs' lives -- and choosing the right dog for you.
About the Author

Professional development is important to Margaret and she has earned her Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) .

She readily shares her insights and secrets about dog behavior and dog handling for photography when she speaks and teaches. Acting goofy and getting people to laugh is all part of Margaret's teaching style.
