Peachy "The Warrior Princess" is a journey of hope, wisdom and
love. Peachy was full of light, and even in her darkest moments she
believed there was something better coming her way. Peachy is a
teacher; she has taught her humans to never give up and never stop
dreaming. She was also a warrior and a survivor. Peachy was also a
Princess because once she realize she could have whatever she
wanted, whenever she wanted, she did became bossy and demanding.
She was and still is, as we like to call her, "our little angel" in
a dog disguise.

THE SUBTITLE OF THIS BOOK OUGHT TO BE 'THE LEGACY OF BUP and Thane'
because, quite simply, if it hadn't been for those two German
Shepherd dogs, this book would never, could never, have been
written. First, because Bup pulled my adoptive mother out of deep,
cold, fast moving irrigation water in the canal when she was three,
thus saving her from drowning, and second because Thane, at the age
of seven months, fought a house-breaker down a flight of stairs and
drove him away one bitter January day when I was living far out and
away from town, all alone on a large cattle ranch with no other
help within call. Without that big pup, I seriously doubt I would
have survived that attack intact, if I had survived it at all. In
the first case, I would have been adopted by someone else and might
never have grown up with German Shepherd dogs, and in the second
case I probably wouldn't have survived at all. _______________
REFLECTIONS FROM THE DOG HOUSE HAS been in the works for over 100
years. The German shepherd dog sprang on to the scene in the late
1890s and early 1900s when a retired German Army Calvery General
made the development of national dog breed his mission. This book
traces the development, and what many have lamented to be, the
decline of this noble breed we call the German shepherd. The book
is divided into six parts containing seventeen (17) chapters.
This attractive and cleverly structured guidebook gives dog walkers
access to 20 of the finest walks in the stunningly beautiful county
of Cheshire. With clear information, an introduction for each walk,
and simple, easy-to-read maps, this beautiful book will appeal to
all who want to venture out into the countryside with their dogs.
The area covered includes: Tatton Hall, Lyme Park, Marbury Park,
Macclesfield Forest, Delamere and Beeston. The walks are for all
levels of fitness and abilities, from short walks to more
challenging hill walks. Having no stiles ensures a hassle free walk
for both dog and owner. Both authors are experienced walkers,
qualified in mountain leadership and countryside management. This
is another book in a series of Countryside Dog Walking books
currently being developed throughout the UK.

What is it that dogs have done to earn the title of "man's best
friend"? And more broadly, how have all of our furry, feathered,
and four-legged brethren managed to enrich our lives? Why do we
love them? What can we learn from them? And why is it so difficult
to say goodbye? Join B.J. Hollars as he attempts to find
out-beginning with an ancient dog cemetery in Ashkelon, Israel, and
moving to the present day. Hollars's firsthand reports recount a
range of stories: the arduous existence of a shelter officer, a
woman's relentless attempt to found a senior-dog adoption facility,
a family's struggle to create a one-of-a-kind orthotic for its
bulldog, and the particular bond between a blind woman and her
Seeing Eye dog. The book culminates with Hollars's own
cross-country journey to Hartsdale Pet Cemetery-the country's
largest and oldest pet cemetery-to begin the long-overdue process
of laying his own childhood dog to rest. Through these stories,
Hollars reveals much about our pets but even more about the humans
who share their lives, providing a much-needed reminder that the
world would be a better place if we took a few cues from man's best
friends.
