Life is Tough on the Streets...

Whether born there, abandoned, or on the run, dogs-stray or otherwise-living on the fringes don't have it easy. Predators, territorial battles, and lack of basic necessities like food, shelter, and medical care take their toll and shorten lives. But there are those out there that envision a better future for strays, and we aim to help them the best we can.

This charity anthology of speculative fiction stories and real-life accounts has been organized and contributed to by those with a heart for these hard-luck cases. All profits from sales will be donated to dog rescue organizations dedicated to finding home for these pups and help them avoid a future caged in a shelter, or worse...

Can you help us, help them?

Featuring stories donated by Sherri Cook Woosley, Lawrence M. Schoen, Christopher J. Burke, Aaron Rosenberg, Jessica Delahante, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Carol Gyzander, Kris Katzen, Andrew M. Seddon, Taluna Wise, John L. French, Jonathan Maberry, Kevin Wetmore, and Brenda Cooper.

Continues in volume two, More Hearts for Hounds!
