Book Description
Martha lives with chronic illness, but is determined to stay strong enough to continue working at the zoo, which she loves. When her symptoms worsen and she starts fainting, she gets a service dog for support. With Henry by her side, she expects life to get easier, but that's not what happens. Henry is a Chihuahua mix, much smaller than the familiar guide dogs for the blind, and Martha's disability is not obvious, so when they go into public places people ask, "He's so small. How does he help you?" Or, "You're not blind, why do you need a service dog?" Martha is embarrassed by the unwanted attention and wants to give up, but Henry is not ready to retire. Giving Paws tells the story of Martha's journey with Henry, overcoming hurdles and embracing unexpected blessings. It will appeal to all dog lovers, and will provide hope for anyone who could benefit from the support of a service dog.

Book Description
Playing with and exercising your dog (two separate but unrelated things) are the two most important components to having a happy, contented, well-behaved dog. But most important of all, by playing with and exercising with your dog, you are providing your dog access to fun. Nothing gives you more power and control than being the one to provide that access. When you are the source of the fun, your dog likes you more, pays you more attention and you have more control over other situations having nothing to do with play. Sue shows you how true power is obtained not through domination, not by being feared, but by being revered, and by being the source of play.

Book Description
Growing up a military brat and spending eight years overseas with the Army Medical Corps, clinical social worker, Willa Smith, has had enough of rules and regulations. Still able to work with veterans as she did at the VA Hospital, she is much happier at the new and far more relaxed South Avenue Shelter, until one of its residents is implicated in a murder. Former military turned security operative, Dimas Mazur, has worked for PASS security, his brother’s company, since he returned stateside after a disabling injury. The job keeps him busy, but when a homeless veteran he knows runs into trouble with the law, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in. The strong-headed counselor at the shelter where his friend stayed is an unexpected bonus. Until she puts herself square in the sights of the man he’s trying to take down.
