The love between dogs and their people is a bond so exceptional it can be hard to put into words. So Brian Nice uses photographs instead -- nearly one hundred and fifty beautiful portraits of noted celebrities with the special dogs they love -- in a book that will delight both your eyes and your heart. The pictures and the quotes that accompany them are tributes to the countless ways a dog can make any person's life special, and Brian Nice has caught his celebrity subjects (both human and canine) as you may never have seen them before: relaxed, goofy, blissfully happy, and completely in love with their four-legged friends.
Brian Nice's own pug, Buster, whose enchanting photo graces the cover, is the inspiration for the book. After Buster was saved from blindness by a doctor recommended by the Humane Society of New York, Brian wanted to do something in return. This book is a special gift of thanks to them, and the author's proceeds will go to benefit both the Humane Society of New York and Much Love Animal Rescue in Los Angeles, both no-kill animal shelters.
A very special book about some very special dogs, Rescue Tails is a book to treasure, reminding us each and every day not only how much love and happiness dogs give us, but also what we can do in return, and of the opportunity we all have to make a difference in a dog's life.
You can read more about it at Pose 4 Paws, and purchase this for between $20 and $15 US from pretty much any on-line book store from Amazon to Borders and beyond. Buy the book, admire Jorja and Ali (her Boxer) and save some lives.
Updated to add in how pretty Jorja and Ali are!
My copy of the book just arrived today and it's great! Not only does it have a full-page photo of Jorja and her dog Ali, but, also one of Billy and Bruno. There's a nice shot of Marg and her dog as well as one of Eric and his pet. It's a great book and all the profits go to various causes for animals.
Thanks for that! I was wondering if Marg and Henry really get to pose for the book. Now I can update my own post and say yes.
Oh and shameless request here...is it possible to get scans of the three of them? Thanks in advance.
I think I'll have to break down and order it...
Broke down. Ordered. Should be here Friday. Scans will come
LOL. Same here.
Found out I get 35% off with Barnes&Nobels today via my work, and matching donations to the Humane Society. Win-win!
Hey Sharron, could you please confirm one thing for me? I found Marg's pic, but I'm not sure if the dog is her late Momo or the one she has now, Henry. I thought it was Henry, but some of the details in that pic make me wonder if it's Momo instead. Again, thanks in advance.
According to the notes on the pages, it's her late Momo. Her words regarding this special dog are very touching.
Thanks a lot for that.
I wonder what she's said about him. Really need to order a copy!
"Momo my special boy. Momo was the most sensitive, noble creature I've ever known. Whenever I was blue, he comforted me."
Thank you. So much. MaMa (nickname for my site lol) loves you.
You're welcome.
Erica...there are actually two large photos of Marg and her dog Momo. I think you'll especially like the full page one!
Really?! That's awesome! I can't wait to see them now. Alas. I live in Asia and the shipping takes longer.
One thing I forgot to mention is the fact that the pages are signed by the individual celebrities and that Jorja's dog appears to have a middle name! She has written Ali Hessel Fox under her name!

@jorjafoxonline @margamania Our pleasure
@thewpap @jorjafoxonline Love is all around.
And yay for the photo of Jorja!
Jorja and Ali
They're so cute!
That dog has one INCREDIBLY long tongue! But the pic is cute.
Jorja and Ali are both adorable! I love Boxers.
Does anyone know how old Ali is? I've seen other pictures of him from years ago so it kind of got me wondering.
Ali was 10 and a half in 2007 (January when the article came out, so 6 months on either side). She's 12 now.
And she's a she
I also think it is a really great picture of Jorja and Ali.Must see if I can order that book.
