Book excerpt: Praise for Labrador Retriever with the Block Head "This book is so timely and entertaining that PIXAR should contact Sabrina Fair Andronica immediately!" - Robert Davi (Goonies; License To Kill) "A graceful and familiar story about unconditional love from a deserving rescue pitbull changing one family's world, and our own illusions." - Aleksandra Schiffer, I Stand With My Pack, Founder and President "It's amazing how this book speaks from a pit bull's perspective and highlights the fact that they are often mislabeled, feared, vilified and they feel it. As a dog rescuer and pit bull advocate, I would recommend this book to people of all ages in hopes that it inspires more compassion for this incredible breed!" - Shoshi G., founder, Underdog Heroes Rescue "Sabrina Fair Andronica has written a beautiful and much needed story about the importance of accepting ourselves and accepting each other. She teaches this lesson by featuring a sweet and lonely pitbull who hides behind a mask in order to find love and acceptance. I hope that by reading this book every child will not only be inspired to stand up against discrimination, but also feel empowered to live their truth." - Lisa Potiker M.A. Ed., Pitty Pawfessors, Founder, Educator, Curriculum Specialist "Beautifully written story for a beautiful breed that's so misunderstood." - Charli Sotiriou, The Arc Animal Sanctuary "She's loved until they realize she's a Pit Bull. It's always the other end of the leash." - Mark Rulon, founder of Southern California Pit Bull Rescue "The telling of this dog's journey is a thoughtful look at the hardship and discrimination that many pit bull type dogs experience, with the ending that they all deserve!" - Kailyn Lavoie, Board Secretary, Love-A-Bull, Inc. "I have rescued thousands of 'pit bulls' in 43-years and I am always sad that one of the sweetest breeds ever to bless our planet is so badly treated. Children everywhere need this book." - Leo Grillo, founder, DELTA Rescue "This is an important book for children to understand that discrimination does not just apply to people. The same lessons we must learn in order to be better to each other apply to the way we must think about dogs breeds, especially Pitbulls. Sabrina Fair Andronica has done a wonderful job in capturing this lesson in 'Labrador Retriever with the Blockhead'" - Tom Bohne, Founder, Kennel to Couch "Pit bulls, much like humans with mental illness, are often treated differently due to the stigma they face. This book shows that acceptance is the first step in breaking the stigma." - Sheila Patel, Retired Marriage and Family Therapist When a homeless Pitbull finds a Labrador Retriever mask the morning after Halloween, she wears it with hope of finding her forever family. This is her chance to find a home as America's #1 family dog! She'll finally be popular and loved! Or will she? Feeling forced to be someone she's not, she embarks on a path full of obstacles, surprises and life lessons. Will she ever be accepted for the kind and loyal friend she is without the facade? Will she not only find her forever home, but also herself?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an unabashed dog lover, Alexandra Horowitz is naturally curious about what her dog thinks and what she knows. As a cognitive scientist she is intent on understanding the minds of animals who cannot say what they know or feel. This is a fresh look at the world of dogs -- from the dog's point of view. The book introduces the reader to the science of the dog -- their perceptual and cognitive Abilities -- and uses that introduction to draw a picture of what it might be like to bea dog. It answers questions no other dog book can -- such as: What is a dog's sense of time? Does she miss me? Want friends? Know when she's been bad? Horowitz's journey, and the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog, Pumpernickel, allowed her to understand her dog better, and appreciate her more through that understanding. The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog. This is not another dog training book. Instead, Inside of a Dogwill allow dog owners to look at their pets' behaviour in a different, and revealing light, enabling them to understand their dogs and enjoy their relationship even more.

Book excerpt: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia London delivers a sexy new contemporary western, where a lonesome rancher and a no-nonsense cowgirl learn that you don't choose who you fall for--love lassos you.... As the firstborn son, it's been drilled into Nick that he is the heir apparent to the Prince family empire. But cattle ranching has never been his true passion. Nick wants to be a pilot. However, when his father dies, leaving Nick to clean up the mess, he knows he must do his duty before following his heart. Charlotte Bailey can't believe that Nick is back to run the ranch. As the office manager, she knows it's her responsibility to help him. If only he wasn't so brooding and cranky--and so hot it's a wonder his chaps don't melt right off him. But when sparks fly between them, she's adamant about staying away from a cowboy on his way out the door. Nick knows the ranch's pretty, smart, and capable office manager is off-limits, but he needs her. And working in such close proximity to Charlotte every day is making Nick crazy. She smells good, she looks good, she makes him laugh, but most of all she makes him want to stay....

Download or read book The Particulars of Peter written by Kelly Conaboy and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This might be one of the month’s, if not the year’s, sweetest books — zaniest, too.” ―The Washington Post "A hilarious addition to the dogoir canon.” ―People "Perhaps the greatest love story ever told.” ―Refinery29 "The feel-good book the world needs." —PopSugar From one of the Internet's most original voices, a hilarious journey through the odd corners of obsessive dog ownership and the author's own infatuation with her perfect dog Peter. The author met Peter in the spring of 2017. He -- calm, puppy-eyed, with the heart of a poet and the soul of, also, a poet -- came to her first as a foster. He was unable to stay with his previously assigned foster for reasons that are none of your business, but which we will tell you were related to frequent urination. The rescue needed someone free of the sort of responsibilities that would force her to regularly leave the house for either work or socializing, and a writer was the natural choice. Thus began a love story for the ages. The Particulars of Peter is a funny exploration of the joy found in loving a dog so much it makes you feel like you're going to combust, and the author's potentially codependent relationship with her own sweet dog, Peter. Readers will follow Peter and his owner to Woofstock, "the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America," and accompany them to lessons in Canine Freestyle, a sport where dogs perform a routine set to music, creating the illusion that they're dancing with their owners. From learning about Peter's DNA, to seeing if dogs can sense the presence of ghosts, The Particulars of Peter will give readers a smart, entertaining respite from the harsh world of humans into the funny little world of dogs. Readers will accompany this lovable duo through exciting trips, lessons, quiet moments of connection, and probably a failure or two. By fusing memoir and infotainment, The Particulars of Peter promises to refresh the perennially popular dog lit category in a scrumptiously bighearted barnstormer of a book.

Download or read book The Grace of Dogs written by Andrew Root and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of Inside of a Dog and Marley & Me, a smart, illuminating, and entertaining read on why the dog-human relationship is unique--and possibly even "spiritual." Dr. Andrew Root's search for the canine soul began the day his eight-year-old son led the family in a moving Christian ritual at the burial service for Kirby, their beloved black lab. In the coming weeks, Root found himself wondering: What was this thing we'd experienced with this animal? Why did the loss hurt so poignantly? Why did his son's act seem so right in its sacramental feel? In The Grace of Dogs, Root draws on biology, history, theology, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), and paleontology to trace how in our mutual evolution, humans and dogs have so often helped each other to become more fully ourselves. Root explores questions like: Do dogs have souls? Is it accurate to say that dogs "love" us? What do psychology and physiology say about why we react to dogs in the way that we do? The Grace of Dogs paints a vivid picture of how, beyond sentimentality, the dog-human connection can legitimately be described as "spiritual"--as existing not for the sake of gain, but for the unselfish desire to be with and for the other, and to remind us that we are persons worthy of love and able to share love. In this book for any parent whose kids have asked if they'll see Fido in Heaven, or who has looked their beloved dog in the face and wondered what's going on in there, Dr. Root delivers an illuminating and heartfelt read that will change how we understand man's best friend.

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 Stopping By written by Herb Moore and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout our marriage of 50 plus years, one thing that we have consistently agreed upon is the inclusion of animals in our lives. The remembrances in this book recall stories of some of the dogs, cats, horses and other animals that have shared their time and space with our family. Often relationships with these amazing animals brought us joy, at times they brought a bit of sadness but always we were enriched in some way. The many lessons we learned helped us to care for future animals and to open our hearts and minds to what they had to teach us. As we explored our memories, and gathered our pictures, one animal story led to the recollection of another, then another. The remembering brought laughter, gratitude, a sense of wonder and sometimes tears. In these pages you will find stories about the uniqueness of many of our animals including Erichs ingenuity, Docs problem-solving skills, K.C.s dedication and Buddys impeccable training. We hope you will see a reflection of you and your animal friends in the telling of these stories. Herb and Kathy Moore
