The one thing, though, that she got out of it is the realization that the one true love she has always been looking for was always there beside her.

Marley & Me
Author: John Grogan
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061793558
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.

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.

Hearts on Fire: Dogs, Love, and Calendar Heroes

Publisher: Joanna Slodownik
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
★From the author of A Taste of Love: Eat, Love, Vegan (Recipes for Love and Life), here’s another heart-warming, funny, and inspiring read for animal lovers.★ Olivia is a lawyer and a vegan but quit her well-paying job to work at an animal shelter. Ryan is a hot firefighter and a hero who saves people and animals from fire. Sparks fly from the moment they meet, but after a recent breakup, Olivia is not ready to trust men again. When the shelter is in danger of closing down, the plan is to create a calendar featuring the firefighters and the dogs to be sold at the next fundraiser. Asking Ryan for help may be their last hope, only can he be trusted? With shocking rumors being spread about the shelter, people turning their backs on them, and firefighters joining the competing event, will the fundraiser be a success? Will Olivia and Ryan end up together, or will Olivia’s impossibly high standards keep them apart ever after? *** My friends keep telling me that I need a relationship with a man—because the whole world doesn’t revolve around cats, dogs, pigs, and rabbits. But is it my fault that men are mostly liars and cheaters; animals on the other hand, never laugh at you behind your back or pretend they love you, when if fact, they’re having sex with somebody else when you aren't watching? Being bitter and wary may not be a solution, but why should I lower my standards? I’ve been down the dating-love-relationship path before, and I’m not going there again, certainly not with that smug firefighter-hero, no matter how many animals (or humans) he saves. When the shelter catches on fire, the local fire department is there to save the animals, with Ryan saving the most dogs and cats, and is all over the television networks, acting like a hero. As I’m watching Ryan Kowalski and his crew posing for pictures, talking to reporters who treat them as if they’re gods, it bothers me is that it’s just another piece of news that people will forget. The thing about heroes is that they do this epic thing and leave, but then it’s up to everyone else to clean up the mess, which in this case means taking care of the dogs and cats in the Kind Heart Animal Shelter—and do our best to save their lives every day before it’s too late and they’re sent to animal heaven. Only that’s not newsworthy enough, not dramatic enough There’s no fire gushing in the background. Just mouths to feed and poops to scoop. No one will show us on prime-time television doing that! The truth is no one cares about the life and death of these animals, and many of them will end up dead maybe even next week or month, because there’s not enough space and no money to keep them alive in the shelter. Why don’t people come and save them? That way, everybody can be a hero. It’s easy—Adopt. Foster. Volunteer. Meanwhile, the question is if we can keep providing safe heaven for the animals in our care and find homes for them before it’s too late and they’re sent to kill shelters? And will I able to find a man I can trust, or will my impossibly high standards keep me from love ever after? *** A novella for all animal lovers and vegans. You will laugh; and you will cry.
