Infos

MY OLD DOG showcases Lori Fusaro’s beautiful photographs, pairing them with Laura Coffey’s thoughtfully crafted stories about all sorts of people whose lives were forever changed when they rescued senior dogs. The book chapters will feature retired working dogs—such as military dogs, law enforcement dogs, racing dogs, sled dogs, and others—who can find themselves living for years in kennels overseas or left in overcrowded high-kill shelters after they age out of their jobs.

“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; 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.
