Pages : 214
Book Description
The mysterious Japanese Akita Dog is renowned for its confidence, loyalty, strength, awareness, affection and its supreme courage to never take a backwards step regardless of the situation. They can be volatile and difficult to train, but the secret of the breed lies within the understanding that comes with that unbreakable alliance. The Japanese Akita is no ordinary breed of dog as many have found... It is said that we are rarely graced by that unique spirit that somehow finds us. If we are lucky enough to come across it, the overwhelming presence never fades. Only once in a generation does it pass through and when it finally leaves, only the heartache remains behind. This book is about the irreplaceable friendship that existed between Zeus and I. From the small adorable puppy to the dominant full grown male, never before had such an amazing animal captured my heart so completely. As all owners understand only too well, there will come that sad day where we must bid a tearful farewell to our beloved. My heart has remained broken since the day he left, but what if that is not the end? Sometimes death does not mean goodbye... Originally this book was only for my children, so that in years to come they would understand why we have a huge canvas hanging on the living room wall of Zeus. But after some careful consideration, this book was written to be so much more. Every single penny made shall be donated to the Japanese Akita Welfare Trust (UK). A non-profit organisation that works to help as many Japanese Akita's as possible, providing help and assistance, as well as housing for those that do not have a home of their own. In the memory of our Zeus, we aim to help as many other of his kind as possible. GS Bains. The foreword for this book was kindly written by Donna Haley (JAWT)

Roam
Author: Alan Lazar
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451672284
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
A wise and heartwarming first novel about families, love lost and found, and a scrappy three-legged dog who is trying to find his way back home as Christmas approaches. Roam features a seven-part soundtrack—composed and performed by the author—accessible online and embedded in the eBook. They say you never forget your first love . . . Born under a sparkling crescent moon, Nelson is a bright-eyed, inquisitive half beagle, half poodle. He lives with Katey and Don, newlyweds whose marriage is straining under the pressures of domesticity, but Katey’s devotion to Nelson buoys the pup even as he worries his home may be falling apart. But there are few things Nelson likes better than to follow a scent, and one day he follows his nose and gets lost . . . very lost. Though he searches frantically for Katey—and she for him—Nelson can’t seem to find his way home, and he soon realizes that if he’s ever to see his great love again, he must make his way on his own and try to survive in the wild. Over the course of eight years, Roam follows Nelson as he crosses the country searching for his family. For a time he rides shotgun with a truck driver named Thatcher, then he lives in the woods with a pack of wolves. A terrible accident takes his hind leg, but Nelson’s strength and longing to find Katey keep him alive. Escaping death in a shelter, Nelson grows into an old dog with a cynical eye and a world-weary demeanor, but underneath it all, a fearless and courageous spirit. After all, he believes that one day he’ll make it home . . . and maybe, just maybe, he will. . . . Much more than the story of one dog’s incredible journey, this is a deeply moving story of survival and enduring love, which once again confirms the unbreakable bond between humans and their best friends. In the tradition of The Art of Racing in the Rain and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Roam is an unforgettable tale of love lost and found, the trials that test families, and an affirmation that no matter how far or how long you may travel, there’s always a place you can call home.
