New Dog Book Author Raises Money for Stray Rescue St Louis

 Stray Rescue Founder, Randy Grimm, checks out the new dog book Travels with Casey by Benoit Danizet Lewis  ©StrayRescue

New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis worried that his dog, Casey, didn't like him very much.  So Benoit rented an RV, lured Casey inside with treats, and embarked on a 13,000 mile road trip designed to help them bond.  

Along the way they spent time with wolf-dogs in Appalachia, dedicated stray dog rescuer Randy Grim, got pulled over by a K9 cop in Missouri,  visited Cesar Millan and so much more.  The result is Travels with Casey: My Journey Through Our Dog-Crazy Country.

Benoit spent a full week with Randy Grim, founder of Stray Rescue of St Louis, his staff and volunteers, rescuing stray and feral dogs in East St Louis, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in our country.  Randy has devoted his life to the dogs society has forgotten.

Benoit has set up a Dream at DreamFund to benefit Stray Rescue of St Louis.  All monies raised will go directly to rescuing, feeding, and rehabilitating dogs helped by Stray Rescue.  Benoit hopes to raise $5,000 by August 20, 2014.

Check out this video of Benoit's time with Randy Grim:

Adopt Ralph a #Pitbull Dog at @StrayRescue in #Missouri

This gorgeous guy is Ralph.  With his beautiful black and white coat, he looks like he's dressed in a tuxedo and ready to party.

Ralph is a 2 1/2 year old Pitbull mixed breed dog.  He weighs 43 pounds, so is medium in size and would probably make an excellent lap sitter.

Here's what the staff and volunteers at Stray Rescue animal shelter have to say about Ralph:

Ralph says, "Ah - the good life!  Food, friends, beds, and toys.  It doesn't get any better than this."  Well, he's right.  For a dog like Ralph rescued from the streets, having a chance for a decent life inside Stray Rescue is a definite improvement.  Now Ralph needs to take one more step, and that is into your arms as your canine companion.

 

Ralph is a cutie and a happy, goofy dog.  He loves playing with toys, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, and hanging out with other dogs.  Recently Ralph got to go on a five mile hike with his shelter buddies.  He showed his good car manners on the trip to the hike by hanging his head out the window to watch the world go by.  On the hike itself Ralph totally enjoyed himself.  He was interested in all the sights, sounds and smells of nature.  His human hiking partner called him a joy.

 

Ralph has the energy to be a running buddy and the loving personality to be your favorite cuddle buddy.  How can you go wrong adopting Ralph?  It's just not possible

Ralph is currently living at the Stray Rescue Pine Street Animal Shelter in St Louis.  Take a look at his adoption video and then contact Valerie at 314-771-6121.
