STREET DOGS
Traer Scott
The stunning follow-up to Merrell’s bestseller Shelter Dogs,
featuring over 90 portraits and outdoor photographs of dogs
living on city streets
“Scott’s haunting portrait album bares the souls of these unclaimed but
unassailably dignified animals.” – People
“Beautiful portraits that just might save the lives of hundreds of other
dogs.” – Life
Street Dogs combines over 90 of Scott’s irresistible signature close-up
portraits of dogs with stunning, dynamic, and unforgettable outdoor
photographs of dogs living on the streets, caring for one another,
seeking food or being fed, wandering, and even playing.
Scott traveled to Puerto Rico and Mexico to capture remarkable and
soulful photographs of dogs living alone or in packs on city streets. Since
many street dogs were formerly pets, they are often friendly,
approachable, and eager to be adopted into new homes. As Scott
documents in her eloquent introduction, she witnessed and assisted in
the rescue of many of the dogs she photographed for this book. Thanks
to the collaborative efforts of Puerto Rican, Latin American, and US
organizations, many of these dogs have now been adopted into new
homes in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Some are being
given the medical care they need before they can be permanently placed
for adoption into private homes; others will be given life-long shelter in
the compounds of rescue centers, where volunteers lovingly care for
them.
By documenting not only the plight but also the unique characters of just
some of the many dogs she has encountered in her travels, Scott raises
awareness of animal welfare causes, particularly the need for rescue
efforts and adoptive homes for street dogs.
Also included is a mini biography of many dogs featured, with details
about their rescue and journey to a new home, and contact information
on charities devoted to street dogs.
Scott has the inimitable knack of drawing you into an animal's plight—not
by devastating you—rather, by arousing and inspiring concern and
compassion by revealing the soulful personality of dogs, despite their
circumstances.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).
