Doris Day's Best Friends by Jim Pierson and Matt Tunia    150 pages

Actress and Singer, Doris Day, shares her deep love for animals in this book, even donating the proceeds to the betterment of animals through her foundation which provides scholarships for students of veterinarian medicine, lobbies for legislation for animal rights and sponsors special programs benefitting 4 legged animals.   The book is a photo gallery with minimal commentary about Doris' career, her abiding love for animals especially dogs, and how she has gone on from making films and singing in Hollywood, to devoting her life to the betterment of animals worldwide.   A true benefactor and patron of the cause for animals to have better lives and she even works with the Humane Society to spay and neuter cats and dogs to help keep down their populations to ease the number of pets with no home to go to.  She champions rescue animal adoptions and even works valiantly on set and off to get her fellow actors and associates to adopt homeless animals.  Good book, Great cause, Wonderful lady.   I recommend this book to young and old, and those too young to read will love the photos.
