Book Description

Do you love dogs? Has a Weimaraner stolen your heart? The young and the young-at-heart both will enjoy this fun and educational coloring book created by 3-year-old Trent, one of the Grey Ghosts helped by the volunteers devoted to Weimaraners like him. It's Trent's way of paying them back and paying it forward by helping his fellow Weims find fantastic foster and forever homes. With a little help from his ghostwriter mom and Weimaraner-loving illustrator friend, Trent offers a 48-page book with colored photos and plenty of photos you can color to show that Weims are more than 50 shades of grey. You also can learn the meaning of phrases like "Work Like a Dog" and "A Dog is Man's Best Friend." "Who says "You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks"? Besides more than 20 pages of Weimaraners to color, this book includes information on choosing and training your dog from knowledgeable individuals and organizations such as the Weimaraner Club of America and American Kennel Club. Trent's book is for you whether your family is considering adopting a puppy or rescuing a dog like him. You'll find questions to ask breeders before you buy. And, no matter where you live, you'll find a rescue near you as this book lists U.S. and International Weimaraner rescue groups and tells you how to contact them. Coloring is fun, educational and isn't just for kids anymore. Like dogs who help us live in the moment, coloring is a great stress reliever. People who love dogs are happier, and once you love a Weimaraner you join our club that is forever loyal to the breed. We even have our own Facebook page! Visit www.facebook.com/weimaranercoloringbook to post a photo of your own Weimaraner and/or show us a page that you've colored from Trent's book. "Dog gone it," just buy this book. Profits will go to Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue, a 501c3 federally-recognized nonprofit organization. Trent is donating his author's compensation to GLWR and Brent Darnell of BDI Publishers also generously is donating to help our volunteers help more dogs like Trent.
