There's the cutest Tibetan Spaniel "Frankie" on mine from Heaven Can Wait animal shelter.

Thanks, Lisa. Shall go find Frankie & get his details put on the Tibetan Spaniel Australia Rescue Page.

I found a local newspaper article which seems to say Frankie is owned by the lady from the rescue group.

That's not a good news story. It's just a rescue/rescuers self promoting.

Unless you're working under a rock, everything is self promotion, and in this case it's a Pet Rescue initiative and happening all over the place with all different rescues on the cover.

Interesting comment. Some people are into self demotion every time they open their mouths or walk down the street. There is an invisible line to be drawn between healthy ego and bragging and imo the article in the OP is about promoting this. https://www.facebook.com/bevspetservices/

Are you saying that all the phone books will feature a rescue organization?

Yes.

Greyhound Haven Tasmania featured for NE Tasmania books and the local paper also did a write-up. Press releases were sent out by PetRescue and Sensis (for all of Australia) to promote the initiative, it had nothing to do with ego or bragging.

Anyways..

The dog on the left is the one and only Idiot Dog :D The houndy on the right is a girl I rescued a few years ago, beside her lovely adopted family.

It was definitely some really great work on PetRescue's part. From what I understand of it, the only books that won't feature rescued pets or rescue groups will be areas where they couldn't find anyone. It was a great idea to promote adoption and personally, I was really grateful for the opportunity to participate.

Thanks, Lisa. Shall go find Frankie & get his details put on the Tibetan Spaniel Australia Rescue Page.

I found a local newspaper article which seems to say Frankie is owned by the lady from the rescue group.

Mita, Frankie is not a Tibbie - there may be something way back in his history, but definitely not a Tibbie. He is however, an awfully nice dog!

Thanks for that. Only pic I could find was from that newspaper &, for some reason, it was too dark for me to see clearly. Couldn't get the actual Directory photo to come up, either.
