She’s ready to educate and entertain children with stories about her life as a dog trained to bring comfort, encouragement, and smiles to people who could use a special friend. Starr is a Newfoundland dog and stands out from the pack – literally.

Pages : 136
Book Description
This book is for anyone who needs hope. What do you do when life throws you challenges that seem insurmountable -- whether it is an illness, loss of a loved one, loss of career, or simply that you are experiencing a crisis of faith? The author faces a near-death crisis when a life-threatening brain tumor is diagnosed, and the experience takes her on a spiritual journey and life reflection that is full of experiences that are not only entertaining but will leave the reader laughing out loud. From her experiences dating celebrities to navigating corporate America, she finds hope and healing in the most unexpected places. With the help of her daughter, whom she adopted from India and the massive Newfoundland Dog, Chewie, who offered his unique form of therapy. Ms. Schiller will take you on a fast-moving ride that will leave you believing that anything is possible. Not a lot has been written from the perspective of a person recuperating from major brain surgery and yet the experiences here could help anyone who needs to gain a deeper understanding of not just the incredible recuperative power of the brain but how life's horrific lessons can be overcome and even celebrated for the answers and newfound purposes they can create. This book was written for one critical reason, to create hope where it is needed... and it accomplishes just that."In 'Borrowing Hope' she brings us into her life in such detail that you, the reader, will be exposed to almost every fear you may harbor: major illness, job loss, financial and emotional insecurity; going from the top in your profession to fighting to survive at the bottom. With each chapter, you will see how Lisa overcomes the obstacle, beats the odds, while openly sharing the wisdom she accrues along the way."-Terry L. Murphy, Former Editor, Gannett Newspapers, Boston Herald, Cambridge, MA.About the AuthorLisa Schiller is an award-winning filmmaker. She was Executive Producer of The Autumn Heart, which won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win the Best Feature Film Award at the Nantucket Film Festival. She has been an executive for a Fortune 200 company and sat on the Boards of Directors of several important organizations. She has been published in Fortune and is the Co-Founder of TimberKnoll's Spirit Cove, an organization dedicated to aiding first responders, veterans, seriously ill people, and the medical staff who care for them, through the help of Newfoundland therapy dogs. She's had to learn how to adapt from being an executive powerhouse traveling the world to living with daily migraines, neuropathy, and short-term memory challenges, but she navigates each day with hope and her primary mission, to spread that hope to others. Most importantly, she is a single mom to a brilliant and magnificent daughter who helps her find humor in every new day. They are originally from Boston, MA but now reside in South Carolina with their two majestic Newfoundland Therapy Dogs, Abraham and Chewie, their Cavalier King Charles, and their four rescued cats.

ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
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.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A heartwarming, true story about George, a rescue dog who helps his owner rediscover love and happiness. Marley & Me meets Tuesdays with Morrie and The Art of Racing in the Rain--get your tissues ready, animal lovers! After Colin Campbell went on a short business trip abroad, he returned home to discover his wife of many years had moved out. No explanations. No second chances. She was gone and wasn’t coming back. Shocked and heartbroken, Colin fell into a spiral of depression and loneliness. Soon after, a friend told Colin about a dog in need of rescue—a neglected 140-pound Newfoundland Landseer, a breed renowned for its friendly nature and remarkable swimming abilities. Colin adopted the traumatized dog, brought him home and named him George. Both man and dog were heartbroken and lacking trust, but together, they learned how to share a space, how to socialize, and most of all, how to overcome their bad experiences. At the same time, Colin relived childhood memories of his beloved grandfather, a decorated war hero and a man who gave him hope when he needed it most. Then everything changed. Colin was offered a great new job in Los Angeles, California. He took George with him and the pair began a new life together on the sunny beaches around L.A. George became a fixture in his Hermosa Beach neighborhood, attracting attention and giving affection to everyone he met, warming hearts both young and old. Meanwhile, Colin headed to the beach to rekindle his love for surfing, but when George encountered the ocean and a surfboard for the first time, he did a surprising thing—he jumped right on the board. Through surfing, George and Colin began a life-altering adventure and a deep healing process that brought them back to life. As their story took them to exciting new heights, Colin learned how to follow George’s lead, discovering that he may have rescued George but that in the end, it was George who rescued him. Free Days with George is an uplifting, inspirational story about the healing power of animals, and about leaving the past behind to embrace love, hope and happiness.
