'A witty, heart-warming tale about woman's best friend. You'll love it!' Nick Spalding 'A love story that honestly will just make you cheer... I loved it.' Miranda Dickinson When your dog plays Cupid...what could possibly go wrong? Loyal rescue pug Doug wants his adoring owner Julie to find unconditional love and happiness - and he knows she won't find either in the arms of Luke, her married boss. Doug is terrified that Julie will become a lonely cat-lover if she stays single too long, but he can't let her fall for any more of Luke's empty promises. Julie needs to move on - and Doug is convinced that Tom, a newly divorced V-E-T, is perfect for her (despite his questionable occupation). There's just one problem: Julie and Tom can't stand each other. Doug doesn't quite understand the quirks and complexities of human relationships, but he won't let that get in the way of his mission to bring Tom and Julie together. After all, being a 'rescue' works both ways... Readers LOVE Pug Actually! 'A wonderful novel with delicious humour... I'm in love with Doug the pug!'

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.

When Jason moved in with Bev, it was supposed to be temporary. But once Daisy the Chihuahua enters the picture, Jason and Bev's lives-and their waistlines-are changed forever. Just two-and-a-half pounds when they adopt her, Daisy is a charmer. And soon, an eater. After Elvis, the pug Bev and Jason adopt to keep Daisy company, meets Daisy in the biblical sense, Daisy starts eating for five. Instead of losing her baby weight, after giving birth to four puppies, Daisy gets even chubbier, and soon outgrows even her fattest fat sweaters. As heads of this new family, Bev and Jason decide it's time for everyone, including them, to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Please Don't Feed the Daisy is the wickedly funny, remarkably useful story of their journey toward becoming a family, and a fit, healthy one at that. Packed with fun, yummy, diet- and earth-friendly recipes for both dogs and people, as well as training tips and even the Happily Ever After Maintenance Plan, it's the perfect book for dog- (and food-) lovers.

"When Ceiridwen Terrill adopts a wolfdog--part husky, part gray wolf--"named Inyo to be her protector and fellow traveler, she is drawn to Inyo's spark of wildness and compelled by the great responsibility, even danger, that accompanies the allure of the wild. She feels transformed by the extraordinary love she shares with Inyo, who teaches Terrill how to carve out a place for herself in the world.
Over almost four years, Terrill and Inyo's adventures veer between hilarious and heartbreaking. There are peaceful weekends spent hiking in snowy foothills, mirthful romps through dirty laundry, joyful adoptions of dog companions, and clashes brought on by the stress of caring for Inyo, insatiable without the stimulation of a life lived outdoors. Forced to move and weigh the complaints of fearful neighbors against the desires of her space-craving wolfdog, Terrill must confront the reality of what she has done by trying to tame a part-wild animal.
A gifted writer able to capture the grace and power of the natural world, the complexity of scientific ideas, and the pulse of the human experience, Terrill has written a bittersweet memoir of the beauty and tragedy that come from living with a measure of wildness.
