TIMELESS TAILS: STORIES OF LOYALTY, LAUGHTER, AND LIFELONG BONDS BENEFITTING GRAY PAWS SANCTUARY
Timeless Tails: Stories of Loyalty, Laughter, and Lifelong Bonds is a tribute to the dogs who grow old at our sides—the ones whose graying faces and softened eyes speak volumes about love, loyalty, and a life well-lived.
Through expressive portraits and deeply personal stories, this book captures their resilience, their wisdom, and the quiet moments that sneak up on us. It’s about the love that deepens as the years go on, and the heartbreak and beauty of knowing time is limited.
If you’ve ever measured time in tail wags, vet visits, or bedtime routines…if you’ve ever memorized the way your dog sighs in his sleep…this book is for you.
As a part of the Tails of the World collective, Bark & Gold Photography's Jessica Wasik photographed 25 dogs for this collector's edition coffee table fundraiser book, her second project of this kind, with 100% of book sales benefiting Gray Paws Sanctuary.

"I have no words to describe the Tails of the Steel City book! Amazing, beautiful, heartfelt...I could go on and on. From the words to the photos to the layout, it's absolute perfection! You did an amazing job, and we love it! That photo of Samson with the butterfly and River with the flower are just perfect. Of course, we are a little biased when it comes to Connor's layout; you captured him perfectly! Thank you so much for choosing Connor to be a part of this!"

"We are extremely honored to be one of the 20 dogs selected for this book project benefiting Bridge to Home Animal Rescue. This experience with Bark & Gold Photography has been nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Jessica's talent is undeniable, but it's the personal touches that make the experience one of a kind. From selecting the perfect location to the personal ordering appointment and the in-person delivery, every detail is carefully thought out and unique."

"Christmas approaching and Black Friday deals has meant several packages arriving lately, but none quite as special as [the Tails of the Steel City book]. A special touch [is] the that the bookmark was tucked into River's section of the book...such gorgeous photos of our girl."
