“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; Susie, the funny little
senior dog who got adopted by "Humans of New York" creator
Brandon Stanton and "Susie's Senior Dogs" founder Erin
Stanton; 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.
