Tails of Devotion is a new "coffee table book" by Emily Scott Pottruck that looks at the bond between people and their pets, through letters and photographs of 58 San Franciscan families.
Described as a visual and profound testimony to the relationship between pets and their families, the book presents a dialogue between owner and pet, and vice-versa, through a series of letters that answer the question: "If you and your animals could communicate via paper, what would you say to each other?"
Noted persons such as Robin Williams, Isabel Allende, Peter Coyote, Ronnie Lott, Mickey Hart, Michael Chabon, Ayelet Waldman, Orlando Cepeda, Michael Tilson Thomas, Miss Connie Champagne and Stephan Jenkins a profiled in the book.
100% of the gross proceeds from the book will go to The San Francisco SPCA, the Friends of San Francisco Animal Care and Control, PAWS (Pets are Wonderful Support), Pets Unlimited and Rocket Dog Rescue. Each of these non-profit organizations is profiled in the book with their mission and work.
