SCRIM: A New Orleans Story of Resilience and Rescue chronicles the heartwarming and epic journey of Scrim the terrier throughout New Orleans in picture book form for animal lovers everywhere. A true story, and originally featured in The Times-Picayune, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS & NBC News and more, Scrim became an instant hero, "a living, panting embodiment of the spirit of New Orleans." -The New York Times

This touching and beguilingly nuanced illustrated book, the story of a terrier-mix rescue who overcame trauma and hardships and kept going despite it all, is sure to be cherished, collected, and gifted by dog lovers and those who empathize with the obstacles all rescues face and endure.

Author Kaye Courington, a lifelong animal lover and advocate, "wrote this book because Scrim’s story represents the resiliency and strong community of New Orleans. So many people came together to find and help Scrim—I’m not sure that would’ve happened anywhere else.”

Michelle Cheramie, founder/owner of Zeus’ Rescues, coalesced a community of volunteers for some nine months to aid in Scrim’s ultimate journey to his forever home. That journey (documented by a srimtracker.com) encompassed evading death at a former shelter, surviving a hurricane, two gunshot wounds, dodging a train, crossing an interstate highway, and the 2025 New Orleans six-inch snowstorm.

More than just a story, SCRIM is a testament to resilience and the lifesaving power of pet rescue. In an inspiring gesture of giving back, the author is donating all of her royalties to local rescues to support animals in need. 

See Scrim in film and print QR codes included in the back matter of the book for all readers. Including articles from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times-Picayune and videos from CBS, NBC and Scrim’s Happy Dance and Scooby and Scrim I LOVE Mornings to experience the FUR-ever joy of Scrim finally at home.

Recenzijas

"Scrim, as someone along the way named him, is also a living, panting embodiment of the spirit of New Orleans: He, like the city, kept on going despite it all." - Rick Rojas, The New York Times

"He is arguably the Big Easys most notorious fugitive the scruffy muse of a zillion memes, fan art, T-shirts, custom Christmas cards, a 'Good Morning America' segment and at least eight tattoos. Hed leaped from Cheramies roof four weeks earlier in his most daring escape yet and dashed right into traffic." - The Washington Post 

"For many, Scrim and the team that rescued him became a symbol of perseverance and hope, inspiring a community that rallied around him." - Hannah Levitan, The Times-Picayune

"Louisiana's most famous fugitive dog, who has frequently escaped the life of domesticated comfort to live as a stray on the streets of New Orleans, has finally been captured yet again. Scrim, a scruffy off-white free-spirited pup, has become a local celebrity for his frantic runaway tactics and his unwavering resilience during his great-escapes. On Tuesday, news emerged that the three-year-old pooch was captured in perfect health in Mid-City after being at one with the streets for months." -Daily Mail
