The love between dogs and their people is a bond so exceptional it can be hard to put into words. So Brian Nice uses photographs instead -- nearly one hundred and fifty beautiful portraits of noted celebrities with the special dogs they love -- in a book that will delight both your eyes and your heart. The pictures and the quotes that accompany them are tributes to the countless ways a dog can make any persons life special; and Brian Nice has caught his celebrity subjects (both human and canine) as you may never have seen them before: relaxed; goofy; blissfully happy; and completely in love with their four-legged friends. Brian Nices own pug; Buster; whose enchanting photo graces the cover; is the inspiration for the book. After Buster was saved from blindness by a doctor recommended by the Humane Society of New York; Brian wanted to do something in return. This book is a special gift of thanks to them; and the authors proceeds will go to benefit both the Humane Society of New York and Much Love Animal Rescue in Los Angeles; both no-kill animal shelters. A very special book about some very special dogs; Rescue Tails is a book to treasure; reminding us each and every day not only how much love and happiness dogs give us; but also what we can do in return; and of the opportunity we all have to make a difference in a dogs life.

In the intro. he admits that he initially took their presence for granted. He then gives an EXTENSIVE history of the development of unions relating to the animation industry in a very detailed and well-referenced account with photos and quotes from animators who experienced these historical events firsthand. At the end of this colorful and objective journey. he invites the reader to reflect on the future of animation - are we better off with unions? Without them? How will new technology influence the employee-employer relationship?For anyone interested in the history of animation or anyone looking to enter the animation industry. this book is an important historical account; a must-read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An excellent book.By Punk DoctorThis is more than just a history of animation unions. it covers the history of animation itself. The stories are well researched and benefit from the authors personal insights. It was a joy to read. I bought it only to read the chapter on the 1941 strike at Disney. but the chapter was so good I read the entire thing!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fills a Historic GapBy bob68As a Disney enthusiast. I have found one of the most delicate and hard-to-research periods in Disney history was the 1941 studio strike. Tom Sito fills this gap by providing a comprehensive narration. But more important to others. he provides a complete history of labor developments in the animation profession. I had no idea there had been so much turmoil! His account is very up-to-date. too. covering the most recent developments. like computer animation. This is a key reference tool for anyone seriously interested in the business of animation.
