Publishing Books that Look at the World from a Different Angle

Treat yourself to the wildest read for domestic animal lovers. Dogs: Funny Side Up! is an hysterical perspective born out of a life that has literally gone to the dogs. Nola Lee Kelsey leaves the polite, often politically correct, world of dog writing to the  masters of sentiment. Kelsey takes her own approach. Be it working at the world-renowned Best Friends’ ‘Dogtown,’ volunteering in the trenches of the lesser-known Three Springs Sanctuary, or rescuing dogs among the temples of Northern Thailand, Kelsey’s knack for recounting uproarious yet bizarrely educational tales offers readers an outrageously fresh perspective on the world of animal rescue and a life spent among man’s best friends. 

 

Caution! This is not your grandmother’s collection of warm, fuzzy, shelter dog tales for the soul. Kelsey’s satirical wit delivers a wildly irreverent bite to your funny-bone and won’t let go!

 

About the Author

Zoologist Nola Lee Kelsey has written a myriad of books from the scathingly wicked, rural satire Bitch Unleashed to the charming, children's read-aloud Let’s Go Visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. As a professional Animal Keeper, Kelsey has worked as a Dog Caregiver for Best Friends Animal Society (Nat Geo’s Dogtown), a Reptile Keeper, a Marine Park Trainer, and a Wildlife Rehabilitator. She’s also a self-confessed serial volunteer for global animal rescue organizations. As she’s meandered the globe, her humor articles have appeared in publications from Reptiles Magazine to The Bangkok Post

 

Review
"Nola Kelsey has dog-gone done it again! 'Dogs: Funny Side Up!' offers the plight of animal rescue organizations throughout the world delivered by the author's trademark infectious wit and explosive candor. Kelsey's personal stories of her adopted dogs and her work as a rescuer blend funny with fury, heart-warming and humorous yet also eye-opening for readers as they discover the emotional and difficult work of rescue organizations. Kelsey proves that her bark is just as potent as her bite."
