How Our Love of Dogs Creates Social Conflict
Author: James K. Beggan
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1666907847
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
For the last twenty-thousand years, dogs and people have shared a unique bond in the animal kingdom. In How Our Love of Dogs Creates Social Conflict, James K. Beggan uses symbolic interaction to examine the meaning that dogs have for people as friends and family members. Although many animal rights advocates express dismay over the subordinate status ownership implies, the author argues that ownership creates a powerful psychological connection that makes it easier for people to imbue dogs with humanlike characteristics. Beggan outlines how dogs’ sensitivity to inequity, in combination with a high degree of cognitive capacity, makes it possible for dogs to be active agents in creating conflict between people. The author's analysis of social conflict between people over their dogs connects to profound philosophical concepts about the nature of mind, the relationship between humans and animals, and the moral responsibility human beings have to dogs and other animals.

For the Love of Dogs
Author: June Whyte
Publisher: White City Press
ISBN: 1963479106
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
When Molly Gibson, sensual romance writer but shyest and most insecure member of the Gumshoe Chicks, finds more than she bargained for in the Driscoll's dog trailer, the Chicks - Molly, Abi and Dana - swap show ring etiquette and grooming mitts for some deadly serious sleuthing. Their only clues are the blood splattered dog-grooming scissors found buried in a fellow competitor's chest, a husband blackmailing his wife, and a death threat written on a Betty Boop writing pad. As the Chicks investigate, they discover several suspects at the dog show have something to hide. Was the dead man really a serial Don Juan, intent on taking every female show competitor over 30 to bed? Did the ostentatious poodle exhibitor lose his temper, decide to teach the victim a lesson, and go too far? Or, was the female judge with the Gucci boots angry when the victim threatened to expose her infidelity? And who is that bad-boy biker with the sea-blue eyes and kissable lips? Molly, who has enough trouble resolving conflict in her fictional stories is freaked out at the prospect of confronting a real-life antihero. A villain who's killed not once, but twice, and if she doesn't apply her creative flair to unearthing the culprit, could easily kill again. Just when the Chicks think they know who the murderer is, Molly stumbles over another clue proving them all wrong. With only a geriatric chihuahua and a hairless broom to work with, will she live to pass this message on to the others?

The New Work of Dogs
Author: Jon Katz
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0375760555
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
In an increasingly fragmented and disconnected society, dogs are often treated not as pets, but as family members and human surrogates. The New Work of Dogs profiles a dozen such relationships in a New Jersey town, like the story of Harry, a Welsh corgi who provides sustaining emotional strength for a woman battling terminal breast cancer; Cherokee, companion of a man who has few friends and doesn’t know how to talk to his family; the Divorced Dogs Club, whose funny, acerbic, and sometimes angry women turn to their dogs to help them rebuild their lives; and Betty Jean, the frantic founder of a tiny rescue group that has saved five hundred dogs from abuse or abandonment in recent years. Drawn from hundreds of interviews and conversations with dog lovers and canine professionals, The New Work of Dogs combines compelling personal narratives with a penetrating look at human/animal attachment, and it presents a vivid portrait of a community—and, by extension, an entire nation—that is turning to its pets for emotional support and stability in a changing and uncertain world.

Life, Death, and Wonder Twenty Years with a Pack of Dogs
Author: Penthea Burns
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365733580
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
This collection includes thirty-two poems and six essays which either feature life experiences with dogs or where dogs serve as some kind of reference in the telling of a tale. It contains stories of human-canine companionship across the life cycle of dogs - anticipating and celebrating their birth, witnessing their interrelationships, caring for them as they age and decline, and accompanying them as they transition from this life to what is next. It is about knowing who we are and who we want to be in relationship to the world around us. "This is a book about joy and healing, and finding strength in the purity and grace of unconditional love, both given and received." (Claire Hersom, poet) These poems show us the gifts that come when we love with an open heart, how when we care for others we become healed ourselves, how the earth is one of our best teachers and how all life speaks a language that can be heard when we slow down and listen." (Lisa Panepinto, poet)
