DOGNY was born out of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. DOGNY is the art project initiated by The American Kennel Club to benefit search and rescue dogs; it was immediately embraced by corporations, communities and individuals eager to show their support for the dangerous and difficult work dogs and their handlers undertake on a regular and often voluntary basis. This book features the statues that were a part of the project- how they were painted, why they were painted, who painted them, who sponsored them, and where they were displayed. It is a book to treasure not only for the striking variety of the sculptures, but also for the impact of the message in paying homage to search and rescue dogs across our nation.

A well earned tribute,

This review is from: Dogny: America's Tribute to Search and Rescue Dogs (Hardcover)
This book is a beautiful,thought provoking tribute to the wonderful service provided by the trained search and rescue operations carried out by these dogs, with particular emphasis on 9/11.Over 100 life sized German Shepherd forms were distributed to artists to paint in any fashion they wished to celebrate these animals.The results were exceptional.Each piece of art was given a name ,displayed and later auctioned off with the proceeds used for the future benefit of these dogs.Each piece of art is explained by the artist and there is also a short note about the artist.Overall this is a well put together coffee table sized book and should be appreciated by everyone.

This review is from: Dogny: America's Tribute to Search and Rescue Dogs (Hardcover)
I bought this for my sister in law who does K9 rescue. I was sad when I was initially told the book would not be in by Christmas and sooooo delighted when it came in a week before the holiday! My sister in law cried as she went through the book and said this one has been on her book list for a while.
