The ABCs of Dogs Coloring Book” is 26 pages, with each letter dedicated to a different breed. Each page includes illustrations and brief descriptions of the dogs.
Nathan Cinder created the illustrations, while Tressa Fessenden-McKenzie authored the descriptions.
Cinder works in the dog behavioral team with the Sacramento SPCA and has been with the animal shelter since 1998. Fessenden-McKenzie is a former staff member at the shelter.
Cinder, known as the “large dog whisperer,” is a talented painter, Varanini said. He used to paint portraits — the shelter lovingly calls “paw-traits” — of dogs that were having trouble finding homes. Varanini said those portraits would eventually go home with the dogs and their new forever families.
