Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats
Author: Bradley Trevor Greive
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 0740794051
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
From a New York Times bestselling author, a humorous look at the advantages of being a dog parent, with photos from an award-winning photographer. Some pairings are just meant to be: peanut butter and chocolate, yin and yang, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. So it was only a matter of time before the stars in the universe lined up and suggested the collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive and award-winning photographer Rachael Hale. Greive and Hale explain once and for all Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats. Now, before all you cat lovers find your fur standing on end, Greive is quick to stress that he is simply “prodog, not anticat. The purpose of this book is not to criticize cats or their owners, but to champion the many exceptional virtues unique to dogs.” What are these unique attributes that make canine companions superior to their feline fiends? (Oops, we meant friends.) Consider the following: * Dogs are social. Cats are sociopaths. * Dogs match up to people. People must match up to cats. * Dogs teach us patience. Cats test our patience. * Dogs give and give. Cats are the gift that keeps on grifting. The bottom line is this: Dogs want love. Cats want fish. Although Greive admits that there is something to be said for “soft, warm, and sleepy” (a.k.a. cats) as captured in Hale's cuddly feline photographs, he concludes that dogs would be the only ones with character enough to admit this fact, thereby once again positioning themselves as the superior pet, confidant, admirer, and friend.

Book Description
The key to life? A question many of us ask ourselves on a daily basis. Why am I here? Why did I do that? What makes me different from the rest? The world we live in today is a different world from yesterday. In my opinion, majority of people are being brought up believing in violence, war, suicide, crime, abuse, bullying, Alcohol & Drugs but most of all people seem to believe in money. To which all prove a negative effect on our lives. You could believe Alcohol & Drugs are the Devil of our time, spreading like the plague wiping out humanity, mentally and physically. Disability rates are rising fast throughout the world constantly. The NHS are over run with mentally ill depressed people, as are the drug & alcohol services and nobody seems to have an answer, so we carry on running around in circles chasing our tails like dogs made to accept our fate of diagnosis be it mentally ill or addicted. The highest killer of men today under the age of 45 is suicide, which gives me the reason to believe unless we do something about it, we are a dying breed. Growing within the human race due to negligence to others, negativity toward our own flesh & blood. Cancers now leaving us & our children with a roundabout whopping fifty percent chance of being diagnosed. That’s before we smoke, drink or take drugs. As we grow older some of us begin ask ourselves, where have our lives gone? Most uneducated people only seem to believe that Jesus was nailed to the cross, this day in age, nobody wants to learn how or why? Because unfortunately this day in age Jesus didn’t sniff cocaine, to which I'd image hes probably pleased about, as he had a bad enough time as it was. Should you choose to believe in yourself & the power of life itself, the power of love. You will not be lead astray. Together we will change the entire world for ourselves, and our children thinking twice about the future. I will tell you the story of my own upbringing through to this very day, the good times and the bad. School, careers, major addictions, depression, suicide attempts, negativity from others, positivity from the other side, my passion for music, how life affected me and how I got through it. What if this Book reaches out to everybody in some way shape or form? Giving my overall opinion on mental illness, addiction, relationship problems, and many other healing capabilities including my own personal view on cancer. But most of all an opinion to happiness in life!
