Dogs communicate with so much more than barks and tail wags.
Misreading doggie body language makes life challenging for dogs and
their humans. This small but mighty book is your perfect
illustrated guide to seeing and understanding the subtle visual
cues and interpreting the behaviours used by your beloved pup to
express how they’re feeling. The more we notice and listen to
what our dogs are trying to tell us, the more we can improve our
relationship with our best friends, helping them to feel safe and
happy. Original illustrations help you compare similar facial
expressions, body language and gestures Interpret your dog's cues
and learn how your dog uses his ears, eyes, mouth, tail and posture
to communicate with you Spot the signals your dog is trying to give
you to tell you they're stressed or conflicted
Following the success of A Dog a Day and Old Dogs, Sally Muir
returns with an adorable collection of beautiful rescue dog
portraits that will melt even the coldest of hearts. Several years
ago, Sally Muir began a Facebook project, posting dog art daily,
which became the best-selling book A Dog a Day. Through the
project she was introduced to endless people and their dogs, and
the distinct personalities and complex emotions that owners
attribute to them. This was followed with Old Dogs, where
Sally asked the public to send in photos of their elderly canines.
She was drawn to the tales behind their greying whiskers and so the
natural next step was rescue dogs with their eventful life stories.
Rescue Dogs is a beautiful collection of loveable hounds with
colourful histories and expressive faces. From Mr Bojangles who was
rescued after being hit by a car to Molly who found a new lease of
life after being rescued from a shelter at age 15, Rescue Dogs will
tug at the heartstrings and leave you with a profound sense of
optimism for life, new beginnings and kindness. This is the perfect
gift for your dog-loving friends, or for yourself to enjoy some
mindful moments flicking through delightful, heart-warming canine
portraits.
In this pathbreaking guide, two of the world's most popular and

ALEXANDRA HOROWITZ, author of Inside of a Dog and Our Dogs,
Ourselves Over the past few decades, many dogs have been getting
sicker and dying prematurely. Why? Rodney Habib and Dr Karen Shaw
Becker have galvanized the best wisdom from top geneticists,
microbiologists and longevity researchers across the globe to
answer this question. Now, they will provide the practical, proven
tools to protect our loyal four-legged friends, interviewing people
whose dogs have lived into their twenties - and even their thirties
- along the way. The Forever Dog plan focuses on the latest
scientific research surrounding food and nutrition, movement,
environmental exposure and stress reduction, from the pros and cons
of various types of pet food - including what commercial
manufacturers don't want us to know - to the role our own
lifestyles and vets' choices play. This definitive dog-care guide
empowers us with the knowledge we need to keep our dogs health and
happy for years to come.
'Brain Games For Dogs' is a brilliantly conceived compendium of fun
games, tricks and activities that you can enjoy with your dog that
will help to stretch and challenge it mentally and allow it to
enjoy a top quality workout for the mind.
