Too LIcky

<p>When 4-year-old sisters Gigi and Ryan began their search for a rescue dog to add to their family they wrote down characteristics that wouldn’t be a good fit: too small too big too serious and so on. The girls eventually found and fell in love with stray momma dog Sugar — she was “too perfect” — and their list became a children’s book <em>Too Licky</em>.</p><p>The book features 21 rescue dogs and their rescue stories. Their “too” traits will be illustrated by artist and rescue dog advocate Cynthia Inks.</p><p>Included in the book are forewords by celebrity dog advocates <strong>Deirdre Franklin</strong> (founder of the advocacy and rescue group Pinups for Pitbulls Inc. and author of <em>The Pit Bull Life: A Dog Lover's Companion</em>) <strong>Tes M. Kurtz</strong> (the Rescue Dog writer and author of <em>Anything Is PAWSible—Impossible Dog Dreams Come True</em>) and <strong>Sophie Gamand</strong> (French award-winning photographer animal advocate and creator of the series <em>Wet Dog</em><em> and Flower Power Pit Bulls of the Revolution</em>).</p><p>Proceeds from book sales benefit rescue organizations that support shelters as well as bully breed advocacy organizations.</p>
