Snausages hosts 1st Man Sled Race

PEOPLE Pets reports:

Forget the Iditarod. Earlier this week, residents of Anchorage, Alaska, were all about the Snausages Man Sled Race, a crazy event in which people pulled pups!

Four teams of humans dragged sleds — with dogs as the mushers — and raced across a frozen pond to win money for their pet charity of choice.

The race benefited local pet-related charities. Buddys team won the race. (AP Photo/Al Grillo/Del Monte Foods)

“Reading Fur Rescue”

Holiday Fundraising Special!

The Ultimate Gift Fur Your Dog-Loving Friends and Family:

Great Books that Give Back!

During the month of November, Happy Tails Books will donate $5 back to Pet Harbor Rescue from any book you buy at the following website: http://happytailsbooks.com/rescue/petharbor.htm.

Sharing books from the “Lost Souls: Found!” series, which contain over 50 heartwarming stories about adopted dogs, is a great opportunity to help raise awareness about dog rescue. It will surely be one of the most memorable and appreciated gifts you give this year.

“Hollywood Barks!” is revered Hollywood Studio Wrangler Kathryn Segura’s memoir, which brings to light the fact that many Hollywood “star” dogs are actually rescues! The “tails” within are funny, poignant, and a must-read for any dog-lover or movie buff.

Previews of all books are available on the website. Please visit http://happytailsbooks.com/rescue/petharbor.htm today to pick up some books – your purchase will help us to give our rescue dogs a merrier Christmas!
