At the same time, a soldier named Dimitri is breeding a new Russian dog at a nearby farm. So many dogs were lost in combat, to starvation, and in the slaughter of German dogs that the country is in dire need of every kind of dog.Dimitri, too, has suspicions of Zasha's existance, and would like nothing more than to add her to his breeding program. He'll have to compete with the armed dog thieves who are also on her trail.Mikhail's inspiring journey to save his best friend, the last German shepherd in Russia, forces him to face some of life's hardest lessons about war, hate, forgiveness, hope, love, and man's best friend.

This book was released on 2012-07-27 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, men and women have known who to turn to in times of trouble - a dog. All over the world dogs have risked, and often lost, their lives to look after the human beings they care for. Their intelligence, devotion and astonishing courage to help humans in distress on countless occasions almost defies belief. Their stories range from Roselle the Labrador, who led her blind owner to safety from the carnage of the World Trade Centre, to the legends of Balto and Togo, two of the huskies who traversed over 1,000 kilometres of snow and ice to bring life-saving medicine to an isolated town, and Swansea Jack, the black Labrador who rescued almost 30 people from drowning and who had a statue erected in his honour. Many of the dogs featured in this book have been specially trained to help humans, a task they eagerly set about regardless of the physical risk they face as a result. Then there are the family pets who, when danger threatens, react with total disregard for their own wellbeing, caring only about one thing; protecting the humans they love.

Download or read book Subway Music written by Reynold Joseph Paul Junker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subway Music is about finding things Reynold Junker thought he had lost forever: his subway music and his name. Subway Music begins in a Manhattan hotel room the day after he and his wife celebrated their Christmas anniversary. She coaxes him into taking her to Brooklyn to see where "all those stories you tell all of the time about growing up" took place. As a certified Californian, that's the last thing he wants to do. Subways were then. Freeways are now. But they go. At Prospect Park he "finds" his father and learns about both courage and reverse prejudice-prejudice against his "Nazi" father. At Coney Island he remembers his Jewish best friend and futile attempts to convert him to Catholicism using the holy waters of Coney Island to turn him into a Jewish Cary Grant. At Kings Highway he visits the house haunted by his old ghosts. At the end of Subway Music he realizes that subway music and Brooklyn will always be as much a part of him as the color of his eyes or the color of his hair. Being from Brooklyn was his fate. Being a Californian is just the way things sometimes work out.
Download or read book Do We Owe A Debt For Living written by Glenda Smith and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, two people close to me said I should write a book. This profound encouragement was initiated due to my intense life. My supporters believe people could benefit from my experience. On August 2 or early morning on the 3rd, 2017, in my sleep, I received a message to write a book. You see, when I am sleeping, God has my total attention. Although I read my Bible almost daily, praise and talk with God, live a faithful life, when I am awake, I am constantly thinking about goals and how to organize my time. However, I do praise and talk to God throughout the day. On August 3, 2017, I first saw the movie Razor's Edge. One of the characters in the movie got engaged to a woman with substance abuse problems. He loves her deeply and unequivocally. He loves her into sobriety. Their mutual friend got jealous and told the woman she is no good for her fiancé and she will make him miserable. Because of these cruel remarks, prior to her marriage, the woman went back to the life she led as a substance abuser. Her fiancé tries to take her away from this toxic environment again to no avail. The woman commits suicide. The now former fiancé confronts the mutual friend and shares with her that he killed someone years ago and he thought he owed a debt for killing that person. But he owed a debt for living, and his payment would have been living out his life with the woman who abused substances. I have intently pondered this proposition in the context presented in Razor's Edge, and I ask that you contemplate it with me. I am using my life experiences and beliefs to aid my analysis. This is where you, the reader, are asked to play an active role by sharing your thoughts with me.
