Resku: A Celebration of the Rescued Dog and Those Who Rescue
By Diane Grindol, Ginny Tata-Phillips
A book of haiku poems and accompanying photos that celebrate those who rescue dogs. It includes tributes to individuals, organizations and happenstance that brings dogs needing homes together with their forever homes. Some of the poems are funny, many are poignant, and a few take the dog's point of view. Each poem is accompanied by a photo of an actual rescued dog.
