Combat Black Dog Syndrome worldwide; a portion of all proceeds from Black Dog Project will be donated to black dog rescue. One of Tumblr's most viral blogs of 2014, the Black Dogs Project is a stunning photo series by animal photographer Fred Levy. Known as "Black Dog Syndrome" in animal shelters and rescues, it refers to the unfortunate phenomenon that black dogs are frequently the LAST dogs to be adopted and the FIRST dogs to be euthanized in rescue shelters. Animal photographer Fred Levy couldn't believe that it was true, so he began talking with shelters. Not only does the phenomen exist, but he discovered it's an epidemic. Levy decided to turn his camera lens to black dogs, showing the world how beautiful they truly are. He called the photo series, The Black Dogs Project, and the stunning photographs have been shared worldwide, spreading awareness and attention to the problem. A portion of all proceeds for Black Dogs Project will be donated to black dog rescue.

Anyone who has ever loved a dog, young or old, will warm to this stirring tribute to our best animal friends. Award-winning photographer Nancy LeVine has traveled the length and breadth of America -- from Kauai to Martha's Vineyard, from Seattle to Natchez -- to meet and photograph some of our most endearing senior canine citizens. Included here are 86 of her finest portraits.These gallant companions ride on our tractors, doze on our couches, happy to be in our company. They remind us of the best in ourselves, and as they lose their vigor and youth, they reflect our own inevitable aging with courage and calm. Nancy's photographs perfectly capture the enduring appeal of these elderly dignified beings in the places where they belong -- all across America. As "America's Veterinarian," Dr. Marty Becker, says, "These images can make you laugh, cry, and simply feel the nobility of elder dogs."

No relationship is more satisfying than the bond between a beloved rescue dog and the human who saved their life. Recycled Love takes you into this beautiful and heart-wrenching world. The no-holds-barred tales offer the public a behind the scene look into the world of dog rescue. Factual details are woven with real-life stories of rescue dogs and the lives they lead when they find their forever homes. As the author knows too well, you don’t just save a dog; you want the dog to thrive. Recycled Love is an emotional firsthand account of the author’s personal experiences as a dedicated animal advocate. Her passion and emotion will ignite a fire inside you and open your soul as you read about the intricacies of rescuing a dog. Dogs have always offered so much to humanity, asking for nothing in return. The least we can do is offer a helping hand when they are hurt or homeless. Recycled Love ultimately proves rescue dogs are not damaged—humans have let them down. The loving forever homes where the dogs are flourishing demonstrate the love and commitment from the humans who saved them. Heart-warming stories in the book include the rescue dog that became a Therapy Dog after being saved from a large-scale breeding facility, the silly rescued husky that insists on stealing lettuce, or the retired greyhound who loves his Elvis Presley sandwich—peanut butter and bananas. Whether you are interested in adopting a homeless dog, love dogs, want to get involved with a rescue or engage in animal welfare advocacy, there is something for you to enjoy in Recycled Love.

His "black dog"--that was how Winston Churchill referred to his own depression. Today, individuals with feelings of sadness and irritability are encouraged to "talk to your doctor." These have become buzz words in the aggressive promotion of wonder-drug cures since 1997, when the Food and Drug Administration changed its guidelines for the marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals. Black Dogs and Blue Words analyzes the rhetoric surrounding depression. Kimberly K. Emmons maintains that the techniques and language of depression marketing strategies--vague words such as "worry," "irritability," and "loss of interest"--target women and young girls and encourage self-diagnosis and self-medication. Further, depression narratives and other texts encode a series of gendered messages about health and illness. As depression and other forms of mental illness move from the medical-professional sphere into that of the consumer-public, the boundary at which distress becomes disease grows ever more encompassing, the need for remediation and treatment increasingly warranted. Black Dogs and Blue Words demonstrates the need for rhetorical reading strategies as one response to these expanding and gendered illness definitions.

In the wake of the considerable cultural changes and social shifts that the United States and all advanced industrial democracies have experienced since the late 1960s and early 1970s, social discourse around the disempowered has changed in demonstrable ways. In From Property to Family: American Dog Rescue and the Discourse of Compassion, Andrei Markovits and Katherine Crosby describe a “discourse of compassion” that actually alters the way we treat persons and ideas once scorned by the social mainstream. This “culture turn” has also affected our treatment of animals inaugurating an accompanying “animal turn”. In the case of dogs, this shift has increasingly transformed the discursive category of the animal from human companion to human family member. One of the new institutions created by this attitudinal and behavioral change towards dogs has been the breed specific canine rescue organization, examples of which have arisen all over the United States beginning in the early 1980s and massively proliferating in the 1990s and subsequent years. While the growing scholarship on the changed dimension of the human-animal relationship attests to its social, political, moral and intellectual salience to our contemporary world, the work presented in Markovits and Crosby’s book constitutes the first academic research on the particularly important institution of breed specific dog rescue.
