Welcome to Riverbank Press

Riverbank Press is an independent publishing house founded in 2002.

Our first book, Dogs' Life: the Magazine for Today's Dog, is a humorous look at the world of pampered dogs in magazine format — from the dog's perspective. If you are concerned that your dog isn't getting enough to read, fetch him a copy today!

Our new book, Fifteen Legs: When all that stands between death and freedom is a ride..., is an in-depth look at the remarkable yet largely unseen world of animal rescue and transport.

It is our hope that someday all companion animals — dogs, cats, rabbits and others — will have happy "forever homes" filled with love and joy. Toward this goal, Riverbank Press proudly donates a portion of its proceeds to animal rescue and shelter groups.

What People Are Saying

  • I read Fifteen Legs surrounded by my healthy dogs, my special needs ones and my special fosters, including one whose life was saved because of her travels from Michigan to Texas, and I obviously knew this story of rescue too well. But I never felt so much a part of this wonderful community until I saw it through Bonnie’s eyes.

    Bonnie writes with such passion – a passion that this jaded veteran sometimes feels she’s lost – but that Bonnie has helped reawaken.

    One additional thought – I would be happy if everyone would read just the first few pages and then try to tell themselves they can justify buying a puppy in a pet store, through the internet or by way of a classified advertisement, continuing to ensure a burgeoning number of animals needing our help, unfortunately not equally met by those willing to provide a home.
