A former racer, Salty is a rescued greyhound who lives in Australia. Author Susan Tanner details the heartwarming, true story of Salty's life with her fur-ever family and how she expresses her gratitude by the "chatter of those pearly whites." This light-hearted story written in rhyme for young children encourages greyhound adoption by highlighting the joys of owning this special breed and will cause dog lovers of all ages to LOL. Sophie McPike's illustrations brings Salty to life through a vibrant palette of color which reflects her own lifelong love for greyhounds. Gumtree Greys, the organization that facilitated Salty's rescue and adoption, receives 25% of all royalties.

Industry Reviews

"Salty was rescued from greyhound racing. Salty's parent's knew she'd need extra love because for a long time she didn't have any life at all. Salty ... has the cutest way of showing how much she loves [life]. Salty chatters because she's pretty much always happy and her parents are too." Jordan Kranse with The Dodo.

"Susan Tanner's children book about Salty, the rescued greyhound, is a lively, true story using a sing-song cadence to teach children about the love that all creatures crave and deserve, the importance of adoption, and the value of second chances." Kelsey-Gilmore Futeral, Esq. Secretary, Alliance of Therapy Dogs
