25.11 - SandyL's Task: Rescue Me!

A couple of friends and I are in the process of setting up a non-profit dog rescue, and hope to be up and running by the first of the new year. Who knew there was so much paperwork involved!! But I know it will be worth it when we can start the fun part of rescuing and rehoming dogs in need.

This is a two book task. Choose two options and read one book from each. Your books should total at least 500 pages.

Option 1: Read a book found on the Great "Dog" Books list.
Required: State the page.

Option 2: Read a book that has a MPG of Animals, standalone or embedded.

Option 3: Read a book written by an author whose first and last initials can be found in the phrase RESCUE DOGS.
Letters can be used only as often as they appear in the target phrase.

Option 4: Read a book with a dog on the cover. The dog can be a photograph, drawing, cartoon or silhouette and does not have to show the entire dog, but must clearly BE a dog.
Dog on It (A Chet and Bernie Mystery, #1) by Spencer Quinn Rescue My Heart (Animal Magnetism, #3) by Jill Shalvis A Big Little Life A Memoir of a Joyful Dog by Dean Koontz
Required:: Include the cover in your post.
Optional: Post a picture of your rescued pet in the help thread!

On the right hand side, there's a cat and above that cat is a dog.
Is it too small or is it ok?

Option 1 City
Option 2 Tales from Watership Down
Will they do?

♞ Pat Gent | 786 comments Just posted my finished task in the thread. Here's my rescue pup - Riley.

He's a real treasure, and I cannot imagine someone just dumping him on the streets to fend for himself. He has completed his CGC-A test, is now a certified therapy dog, and he sponsors classes at the local horse show. He's just a really great little dog!

Hi Midu
For option 1 - if that book is on the list, then it works.
For option 2 - it's approves for Animal MPG, but when I looked it was also listed as Children's in the MPG, so that may be a problem if it's listed that way when you submit it to the mods.
