I received a nice note from photographer Traer Scott in which she explains why her book Street Dogs is her favorite (you might know her work from Shelter Dogs ). In her own words...
"Street Dogs explores the lives, deaths and rescue of dogs living alone and in packs in the streets, jungles and deserts of Puerto Rico and Mexico. In making the book, I traveled for months with animal rescuers throughout rural and urban areas in both countries in an attempt to document the many facets of animal abandonment and abuse along with the efforts being made to bring about change. It is my personal favorite of my three books and of course, a percent of all sales are donated to charity. In this case, The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA). There are actually many happy endings in the book..."
I think this would be a great book for the dog lover, the traveler, or the photographer in your life. There is still time to order it here and receive it in time for Christmas.
