Nannie Millie

About the Book

First impressions can be very powerful. Likewise, a photo can convey,in a way no words can, the unique beauty, intelligence, nobility, loyalty, and affable nature of a dog. Pictures often trigger raw emotions, prompting us to smile and sometimes giggle, weep or sometimes wail, and celebrate or sometimes worry sick. But most importantly, a photograph can foster an attachment, inspiring some to reach out to a dog they’ve never met personally. Nannie Millie was one such dog. Rescued from the frigid streets of Rhode Island at about 14 years of age, her fascinating journey is chronicled in this amusing photo book. Comprised of ten chapters including short narratives, and over 150 extraordinary photos tagged with creative captions, this book is sure to rouse you with pure joy, sadness, wonderment, and fits of laughter. Dog enthusiasts far and wide will delight in ´Nannie Millie´, and undoubtedly, most will never look at an old dog the same way again.

About the Author

Donna Joseph lives in the Boston area with her three German Shepherds. She began volunteering with German Shepherd Rescue of New England in 2002. Recognizing the crucial role that photos played in the promotion, recruitment, and fundraising aspects of rescue work, she ultimately became their first photographer. Eventually, her artistry with the camera, combined with her nurturing demeanor as an Oncology nurse, merged forces with feeble senior dogs rebuffed by most. She bears a fervent desire to educate the public about homeless animals, but especially the older ones. Nannie Millie is her first book.
