It's been nice reading about Old Fella and everyone's interest in him. He's certainly a lucky guy to have found you and everyone in this group who so generously helped with his medical care. He certainly has become quite the poster dog for dog rescue.
Now that your planning on writing a book about you and Old Fella are the proceeds from the sale of the book going to be donated to local dog rescues to help other dogs who are less fortunate?
Rescue is hard work, not cheap (as you now know) and there are never enough funds to help the dogs in need. Old Fella is just a VERY small sample of what comes across the doorsteps of rescue groups around the country and they certainly could use the help! I volunteer for a rescue and I can't tell you how many dogs are brought in or taken out of horrible circumstances often in far worse condition than Old Fella. The cost to care for a rescue is high and most rescues rely solely on donations. Sometimes due to lack of funds, they are euthanized because there isn't any funding to help with the medical care needed for some of these poor dogs. How nice it would be for Old Fella's story to help other dogs in need who are less fortunate.
