Image: Mutts, by Sharon Montrose (Author). Publisher: Stewart, Tabori and Chang (March 13, 2007)National Mutt Day/National Mixed Breed Dog Day
-- This day is about embracing, saving, and celebrating mixed-breed dogs. To raise awareness of the plight of mixed-breed dogs in shelters nationwide. To educate the public about the sea of mixed-breed dogs desperately awaiting new homes. To celebrate the amazing breeds making up your fur child's lineage. Mixed breed dogs tend to be healthier, better behaved, live longer, and are just as able to perform the duties of purebred dogs - such as bomb and drug sniffing, search and rescue, and guiding the blind.

Read: Mutts
-- Quick: What is the leading dog breed in the world? Well, of course, it isn't a breed at all. The top dog, in terms of numbers, is the humble mutt. And mutts — in their infinitely quirky, oddball, all-mixed-up variety — have a very special place in all our hearts. With Mutts, pet photographer Sharon Montrose aims to elevate these beloved but underappreciated companions' status through a series of 60 portraits that showcase the intelligence, cockiness, loyalty, energy, good looks, and sheer irresistibility of the mixed-breed dog.

Image: Tallmadge Hill: The Story of the 1935 All-American Soap Box Derby, by Ronald Reed (Author). Publisher: iUniverse (March 8, 2013)
Tallmadge Hill
All-American Soap Box Derby Day
-- The Soap Box is a youth soapbox car racing program run in the U.S. since 1934. In 1933, a photographer for the Dayton, Ohio, newspaper, Dayton Daily News (Myron Scott), organized an impromptu race for 19 boys. Due to the high interest, Scott arranged a bigger race, with prize money, for August 19. An incredible crowd of 362 kids showed up with their homemade cars built of orange crates, sheet tin, wagon, and baby buggy wheels!

Read: Tallmadge Hill: The Story of the 1935 All-American Soap Box Derby, by Ronald Reed
-- Ronald Reed is first, and foremost, a derby fan. Growing up in suburban Akron, he attended his first All-American race in 1949 at age seven. Since then, he has missed only three. By his personal account, he has witnessed more national derby races than any living person. He never raced as a boy, lacking the skill to construct a racer. As he explains it,  the trouble was that everything I made looked like I made it. In 1973, Ronald began carving miniature replicas of the top three racers of each year's All-American, dating back to 1933. These cars are currently on display at the Derby Museum at Derby Downs in Akron.

-- Author David Fulton started in the Soap Box Derby in 1978. With a background as a Professional Aircraft Mechanic, Aircraft Inspector, and lifetime tinkerer, Dave quickly adapted to the science and mechanics of Soap Box Derby. Over the years, all three sons won their local races and competed in the World Championship races in Akron. Dave's middle son, Christopher, was fortunate enough to win the 1980 Junior Division World Championship Race in Akron, Ohio. Dave has taken all the racing techniques he has learned over the years and put them in Winning Ingredients.
