4. Will’s Red Coat: The Story of One Old Dog Who Chose to Live Again | By Tom Ryan
Will’s Red Coat: The Story of One Old Dog Who Chose to Live Again | By Tom Ryan.
Fifteen-year-old Will was languishing in a shelter, deaf and almost blind. When author Tom Ryan saw an online post about Will, he adopted him and brought him to his home in New Hampshire to give him a loving and dignified place to die. As Ryan witnessed Will’s fear, lack of trust and heartache, he realized what Will really needed was to learn to trust and love again. And that’s when Will began to thrive, transforming into a happy, playful pup. He lived for two and a half years, inspiring hundreds of thousands of people with his resilience and renewed heart, and now this memoir will do the same. Paperback edition available in February for $16.99. Published by Harper Collins. $25.99. harpercollins.com
5. William Wegman: Being Human | By William A. Ewing, curator
William Wegman: Being Human | By William A. Ewing, curator.
Fans have enjoyed William Wegman’s whimsical Weimaraner photos for nearly four decades. This new collection features more than 300 images from Wegman’s personal archive, spanning five decades of work and including some that have never been published. Wegman is known for images that are at once funny, striking and surreal — dogs wearing human clothing, posing as fairy tale characters or perching on pedestals like sculptures. If you’re a Wegman fan or just discovering him for the first time, this book definitely deserves a look! Published by Chronicle Books. $24.95. chroniclebooks.com
