78 million dogs live as pets in the USA. These are the lucky
ones. Five to seven million companion animals enter shelters
every year, and more than half are euthanized due to the
lack of space. Miracle Dogs celebrates and honors the rescuers and the dogs
whose lives they’ve saved. It features wonderful stories and
photographs of dog rescuers, dog trainers, and rescue
organizations such as The Gentle Barn and Tamar Geller's
Operation Heroes and Hounds, along with celebrity pet owners
such as Chevy Chase, Hoda Kotb, Bob Einstein, Amanda Hearst,
Jamie Lynn Siegler, and Lance Bass. Each story includes
portraits of the dog and its new family, followed by a
concise, compelling narrative detailing the dog’s journey to
its new home. A professional pet photographer, Liz Stavrinides spends much
of her time on projects related to animal rescue. Miracle
Dogs was born out of her desire to collect and share the
stories of the dogs she’s met over the years, showcasing the
incredible bravery and compassion of both canines and
owners. Readers will be moved by stories like that of Wyatt,
an assistance dog who helped a young boy with autism
communicate with the outside world, or Fiona, who was found
blind and starving and is now in a loving family. All of
them have finally found their furever homes. Stavrinides’
portraits are heartwarming—a loving and poignant tribute to
man’s best friend.
