Dogs Deserve Better will be publishing our second children’s book in October of 2010, entitled A New Name for Worthless, and this time we're looking for the STAR of the show!
 Written and illustrated by Rocky Shepheard, it’s a delightfully poignant tale of the love of a man for his dog, and the lengths both man and dog will go to for each other and freedom.
There are lots of fun characters to add camaraderie and humor to the plot and adventure that will keep you turning the pages. The ending will surely bring smiles to the faces of both you and your children.
Of course, as with everything else Dogs Deserve Better does, our book has an important message for children that dogs are part of the family, and they want to live inside with us.
So how do you get involved? Well, all of the characters are currently being developed graphically except one—the protagonist, a dog named Worthless (named for the real-life dog who started Dogs Deserve Better).
DDB will be giving one of our supporter's dogs the chance to be drawn as Worthless, the star of the tale, who receives a miraculous transformation and a new name!
How do you get YOUR dog in the running to be the star? Just sponsor the book, and indicate whether you want your dog to be eligible for the drawing or not. (You can sponsor without entering your dog in the contest too, of course.)
We will choose the winner of the contest from eligible book sponsors on July 19th, and announce it on our site.
The author/illustrator will either take photos in person of your precious pooch to use for the illustrations or will let you know what kind of shots he needs of your dog to fill in the drawings.
And, a real-life photo of your dog and a paragraph or two about him/her will be added in the back of the book!
All illustrations in the book will be original work beautifully-illustrated in the rich colors of fall and winter. So sponsor today, and not only will you get YOUR name in the back of the book, but a chance to have your dog as the star of the show too!
Sponsoring is easy! Just use the Paypal link below, or alternatively we do accept phone and snail mail sponsors as well! (If you sponsor with other than this link, be sure to specify that this is for A New Name for Worthless.)
