Book Description
The third in a series of books (including the wildly successful Horse Tales and Cow Tales) about ranch and family life in Idaho, Heather Smith Thomas's Ranch Tales offers a collection of humorous, heartwarming and insightful true stories, each centered on the unique bonds that form between people and the animals - livestock, pets and wildlife - that populate a working ranch. "Ranch life is unique and colorful," Thomas writes. "The jobs we do - raising cattle, working with animals, tending to their needs - are never boring. The animals themselves, and the adventures and circumstances involved with their care, always keep life interesting and fun, as well as challenging. These stories include a bit of humor, and a broad mix of experiences that illustrate how closely entwined our lives are with those of the animals within our care."

An honest and deeply moving debut memoir about a young woman’s battle with depression and how her dog saved her life A New York Times Bestseller “Dog Medicine simply has to be your next must-read.” —Cheryl Strayed At twenty-two, Julie Barton collapsed on her kitchen floor in Manhattan. She was one year out of college and severely depressed. Summoned by Julie’s incoherent phone call, her mother raced from Ohio to New York and took her home. Haunted by troubling childhood memories, Julie continued to sink into suicidal depression. Psychiatrists, therapists, and family tried to intervene, but nothing reached her until the day she decided to do one hopeful thing: adopt a Golden Retriever puppy she named Bunker. Dog Medicine captures the anguish of depression, the slow path to recovery, the beauty of forgiveness, and the astonishing ways animals can help heal even the most broken hearts and minds.

Book Description
We all know dogs are man’s best friend, but sometimes our pups forge the most unlikely of animal friendships. These are the uplifting stories of inseparable buddies for whom species is no barrier to unconditional love. Dogs like Wallace the labradoodle, who protects his clutch of rescued battery hens; Tinni and Sniffer, a German shepherd and a wild fox who loved to play together in the Norwegian snow; Benton the Great Pyrenees, who can’t get enough of Boone, a mobility-impaired racoon; and Yiddle the Chihuahua, whose big best mate is Kevin, a llama. In A Dog’s Best Friend Laura Greaves shows us that while these may be unusual pairings, they are as devoted to each other as any human companions. That’s because these dogs and their unlikely pals are living proof of the life-changing power of friendship.

With the help of his own observations and those of other animals on the farm, Bo learns to experience and adapt to the ups and downs of life, which makes him more confident and self-assured. Interactions with his friends help Bo understand that we are all different, which enables him to look at things differently. Within each story of the book, there is a problem or obstacle that Bo has to recognize and find a way to overcome. Children reading these stories may recognize their own situation and realize that there is always a way around problems! As young readers begin to come up with their own solutions, their own levels of self-esteem and confidence will also rise, right along with Bo!
