to tell you, with help from this hilarious fully illustrated book
When you look into those big, gorgeous puppy-dog eyes, it sometimes
seems all too obvious what your dog is thinking - namely, I love
you. But there's more to dogs than meets the eye, and after delving
deep into pup psychology we can now reveal the real thoughts behind
those adorable faces. You'll find out: what's going on behind those
big brown eyes when your pooch is desperately begging for food why
they insist on digging holes in your pristine lawn what they really
think about trips to the V.E.T. their insightful opinions on the
cone of shame why they love to chase moving vehicles what they make
of your cutesy nicknames This charming and fully illustrated book
is the perfect gift for any dog lover, or anyone who has ever said
the words, "I wish I knew what you were thinking!"
The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively
bred over thousands of years. Today they're man's best friend - but
while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for the
police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling sleds
and as therapy animals. Arranged in chapters covering physical
characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication, behaviour and
working dogs, Dogs is a hugely informative visual celebration. From
huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu
to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds,
the book includes a huge range of breeds. With fascinating captions
on every page, even dog lovers will learn something new. Dogs is a
brilliant examination in 150 outstanding colour photographs.
A New York Times bestseller! 2012 Outstanding Book Award from the
American Association of Journalists and Authors (ASJA). Allen and
Linda Anderson adopted a traumatized one-year-old cocker spaniel
who had been abandoned. Soon, the troubled dog they named "Leaf"
turned their home into a war zone. Although Leaf and Allen were
forging a friendship with visits to dog parks and bonding time,
Leaf's emotional issues overwhelmed the couple. Shortly after
Leaf's arrival, Allen, who had spent eight years as a big city
police officer and survived so many close calls that Linda called
him "Miracle Man," received a diagnosis from his doctor that made
him think his luck had finally run out. Allen had an unruptured
brain aneurysm that could be fatal, and the surgery to repair it
might leave him debilitated. Having seen his father live for years
with the effects of a massive stroke, he dreaded that the worst
fate might not be death. What Allen didn't know is that he and
Leaf, like comrades facing the ultimate battle, would be there for
each other with the miracle of this man and this dog coming
together at exactly the right time. .
"If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the
country in advance of an emergency. If you cannot place them in the
care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."
Joanna Ryan's father has gone off to war, leaving her in the care
of her step-mother, a woman more concerned with having a good time
than being any sort of parent to her. But then she finds a puppy,
left for dead, and Joanna becomes determined to save him, sharing
her meagre rations with him. But, in a time of war, pets are only
seen as an unnecessary burden and she is forced to hide her new
friend, Harry, from her step-mother and the authorities. With bombs
falling over Bristol and with the prospect of evacuation on the
horizon, can they stay together and keep each other safe? A
gripping, heartwarming historical saga from bestselling author
Lizzie Lane. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a
storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco
Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a
must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the
door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming
friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they
were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic
historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J
Miller
