You’ll be smiling with delight as Mr. Puppy gets his forever home. “Cindy Chambers has once again given us a road map to bringing joy and happiness into the lives of children through the kindness and humanity of pet adoption. Having an animal companion in the home has shown to have great benefits to the physical and psychological health of humans. Adopting a pet has profound positive impact on the animals and their new family members.” Edward Puccio, MD, FACEP President & Medical Director, Department of Emergency Medicine, Inova Loudoun Hospital “The story delightfully demonstrates the special relationship shared between children and their pets. While entertaining and appealing to the small readers, the book also provides insight to the world of animal rescue and pet ownership. As a veterinarian, the human-animal bond and the role pets play in family life is a marvelous phenomenon that I am privileged to see every day. Encouraging children in appropriate dog handling and care is certainly beneficial for the family’s two and four-legged members. The introduction to pet adoption to not only young readers, but also to their parents, is heartening to read, as so many rescue pets would integrate well into family life. The lessons that Cindy Chambers has so artfully shared in this book will surely have positive influences on children, their families, and numerous pets.” Elizabeth Byers Associated Veterinarian, Towne Animal Clinic, Leesburg, VA “What a wonderful and endearing story. It most definitely struck a chord in this animal rescuer’s heart and I am filled with gratitude. The message this book sends is gentle enough for a child, but strong enough to encourage parents to consider the adoption of a shelter animal. As a mother who has raised her children around rescue dogs, I cannot emphasize enough the deep connection- the unconditional love, loyalty and friendship between a child and their adopted four-legged companions. Opening your heart and home to an animal in need is one of life’s greatest and most rewarding gifts. I am incredibly grateful to Cindy Chambers and to Tell Me Town for beautifully expressing such an important message to families that may be considering the addition of an animal companion.” Diana Williams Casey Animal rescue, animal welfare advocate, foster, Volunteer photographer for rescue groups , Houston, Texas

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book A Girl and Her Dogs written by Carol Norris and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about a girl and her extraordinary rescue dogs. The girl is my daughter Kelsey and the dogs are named Izzie and Sadie. The four of us are a family united by love and separated through the cruelty of other humans. The only way Kelsey and I can deal with our tragic loss is to write about it. Kelsey was found in a Russian orphanage, when she was eleven months old and weighing less than fourteen pounds. The doctors did not know if she would ever walk or talk. She has been diagnosed as having autism, intellectual disabilities, and Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Kelsey is currently a seventh grade special education student. She is thriving and is on the honor roll. She is not your typical seventh grade student. Currently, Kelsey is a nationally recognized advocate, community volunteer, beauty queen, author, and athlete. None of this success would have been possible if not for the love of her two rescue dogs, Izzie and Sadie. The most significant turning point in Kelsey's life was the day she met her dog Izzie. Since second grade, Izzie has been her protector, best friend, and confidant. They were joined a few years later by an abandoned puppy named Sadie. It has been the power of this bond, cemented by mutual love, that has forever changed Kelsey's life. Their story is dramatic. These dogs saved our lives on more than one occasion, including a situation that involved a missing child and law enforcement officers from two counties. They deserved to spend the rest of their lives with us. Unfortunately, that is not how their story ends. We were forced to make a heartbreaking decision to let them go in order to keep them safe. We are forever grateful to the kind volunteers at the animal shelter who helped us. Some of the proceeds from this book will be donated to that shelter.
