Download or read book Soldier Dogs written by Maria Goodavage and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading reporter offers a tour of military working dogs' extraordinary training, heroic accomplishments, and the lasting impacts they have on those who work with them. People all over the world have been riveted by the story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who was a part of the Navy SEAL team that led the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. A dog's natural intelligence, physical abilities, and pure loyalty contribute more to our military efforts than ever before. You don't have to be a dog lover to be fascinated by the idea that a dog-the cousin of that furry guy begging for scraps under your table-could be one of the heroes who helped execute the most vital and high-tech military mission of the new millennium. Now Maria Goodavage, editor and featured writer for one of the world's most widely read dog blogs, tells heartwarming stories of modern soldier dogs and the amazing bonds that develop between them and their handlers. Beyond tales of training, operations, retirement, and adoption into the families of fallen soldiers, Goodavage talks to leading dog-cognition experts about why dogs like nothing more than to be on a mission with a handler they trust, no matter how deadly the IEDs they are sniffing, nor how far they must parachute or rappel from aircraft into enemy territory. "Military working dogs live for love and praise from their handlers," says Ron Aiello, president of the United States War Dogs Association and a former marine scout dog handler. "The work is all a big game, and then they get that pet, that praise. They would do anything for their handler." This is an unprecedented window into the world of these adventurous, loving warriors.
Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. 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 Roamer written by Michael Delaware and published by If, and or But Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Roamer is about a rescue dog. The description of 'Rescue dogs' is a common vernacular for any dog that is lost or stray and which is ultimately saved through adoption, usually by means of an animal shelter or rescue organization. For a person to save a rescue dog means to give a life to not only the dog, but also to share in the joy, love and devotion that our canine friends bring to the world. Roamer is more than just a Rescue Dog story, is a portrayal of the plight of animals who suffer following natural disasters or when they are abandoned and left to roam without a loving home to take care of them. Dogs bring love to their owners in ways that sometimes non-pet owners do not fully sense or possess until they adopt one of their own. So the story of Roamer could also be described as an introduction to animal rescue for those who have never examined it in their lives, and what it ultimately means for the dog. The story: Roamer is a dog who is troubled by a past he cannot fully remember, and haunted by the long lost memories of the ones he loved following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Can he survive and find his way as a stray in the aftermath of losing all that is familiar to him? Will he find again the ones he loved? In his life as a stray he experiences abuse, suffering and also friendship against the backdrop of an ocean current filled with hope and dreams. An original story written by Michael Delaware that touches on the plight of stray animals following natural disasters. It is a message of hope and compassion. Profits from the sales of this book will go to support animal rescue organizations.
