White Fang is driven near mad, until a young man comes along who offers him kindness and friendship. But friendship is something White Fang doesn't understand...yet. Jack London's adventure masterpiece is not only a vivid account of the Klondike gold rush and North American Indian life, it is an intriguing study of the effects of our environments in forming who we are.
The distinguished British man of letters J.R. Ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when, well into middle age, he found himself in possession of a German Shepherd, To his surprise she became the love of his life. My Dog Tulip looks back on their sixteen years together and tells in sometimes startling detail of Ackerley's fumbling but determined efforts to care for the animal he considered his ideal friend. This frank and often very funny account of the ways of dog and man is also a bittersweet reckoning with the limits of all relationships, a lament for the ultimate futility of even the deepest love.
For nearly a quarter century, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend has been the standard against which all other dog-training books have been measured. The Monks of New Skete have achieved international renown as breeders of German shepherds and as out-standing trainers of dogs of all breeds. Their unique approach to canine training, developed and refined over three decades, is based on the philosophy that "understanding is the key to communication, compassion, and communion" with your dog.
This hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, self-help parody is a "must-have" for dog owners who are baffled by their dog's quirky habits and questionable conduct. Whether Fido compulsively chews up old blankets, obsessively licks the hardwood floor, or barks uncontrollably at an empty corner, bestselling humor author Stephen Baker offers "expert" advice on understanding, analyzing, and curing aberrant behavior.

Dog Is My Co-Pilot is an anthology of essays, short stories, and expert commentaries that explores every aspect of our life with dogs. Fifty percent of the material here has never been published before. The book is divided into four sections: Beginnings explores that first meeting, "the initial murmurings when a dog-human relationship is formed." Pack investigates the theme of "togetherness" and pays tribute to the dynamic of multiple personalities in the canine-human relationship. Lessons examines what dogs teach us, from love to enlightenment. The final section, Passages, reflects on the themes of true friendship, transformation, and loss.
Caroline Knapp has been celebrated as much for her fresh insight into emotional and psychological issues as she has been for her gifts as a writer. In Pack of Two, she brings the same perception and talent to bear on the rich, complicated terrain of human-animal relationships. In addition to mining her own experience with Lucille, Knapp speaks to a wide variety of dog people--from animal behaviorists and psychologists to other owners whose dogs have deeply affected their lives.

There is a tendency to call certain tales "shaggy dog stories" - well, in time-honored traditions the following have been harvested through the ages from some of the shaggiest dogs. In fact, it is probably fair to say that these are 100 percent genuine shaggy dog stories, each absolutely faithful to its source: rumors from neighbors; notes jotted on the backs of sketches; gossip from the dog pound; forgotten biographies; half-remembered facts, and unpublished works. The stories will show you how it is possible that dogs have influenced the art world we know and love today. |
