Eldad Hagar never imagined that when he began photographing the hundreds of fostered dogs (and other creatures) who came through his home, that he would actually create a book. Eldad just wanted to remember the animals that he had shared great memories with. Then, friends and family encouraged him to get the word out to educate the public about animal abuse and neglect and furthermore, to inspire others to adopt, rescue, and foster animals in need.

Soon after the Eldad created Hope for Paws animal rescue, an inspired donor graciously funded the printing of the book so that all donations to Hope for Paws and the money earned from the sales of the book would go directly to helping animals.

Several hundred copies of both the first and second edition have been donated to women's and children's hospitals, and senior living facilities throughout the U.S. by both Hope for Paws as well as our generous donors.
