My Name Is Gucci
Author: Sun Jung
Publisher: Transit Lounge
ISBN: 1923023268
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
After living in a Singapore dog shelter for five years, Gucci – a vaguely Dalmatian-like crossbred – is losing hope of ever being rescued. One day to his surprise he is adopted by her, a writer, and moves to inner city Sydney. On arrival, however, an anti-dog war breaks out in their apartment block; Gucci’s owner receives a letter threatening the possibility of ‘euthanasia’. The incident triggers nightmares in her and brings back distressing childhood memories. My Name Is Gucci is a charming novel about the relationships between pets and their owners and about how the past shapes the present. This bold ex-shelter dog narrated fable beautifully unravels Gucci’s and his adopter /guardian’s secrets, which have been intertwined for decades through their recurring reincarnations. Sun Jung understands the deep connections that exist between animals and humans. You won’t need to be a dog lover to be entranced by this story; it is brimming with warmth, wit and wisdom. ‘A comic and moving Homeric odyssey about Gucci the dog, who must deal with, and outwit, the most problematic species of all – humans.’ – Louis Nowra, author of Sydney: A Biography 'A magical novel that will capture your heart.' – Andrea Carter, author of A Body Falls

Happily Ever After
Author: Trista Sutter
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 0738216666
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Trista Rehn was a pediatric physical therapist moonlighting as a Miami Heat dancer when she heard about casting for a new reality show—one guy getting to know twenty-five girls in the hope of finding a fiancée. As improbable and crazy as it sounded, Trista took the chance—and had her heart broken on the very first season of The Bachelor. But the next season, as the first Bachelorette, her fairy tale fell into place during a whirlwind courtship with poetry-writing firefighter Ryan Sutter and, eventually, a dream-come-true wedding on national TV. In the midst of building a life with Ryan and raising two kids, Trista started to make a conscious effort to remember her favorite part of each day. And she's made sure to post these thoughts, her own personal expressions of gratitude, almost every night on Twitter and Facebook—even on days she was dealing with fertility issues, a difficult pregnancy, family deaths, and other challenges that many of us face. Sometimes it's the smallest gestures and the most unassuming things that can have the greatest effects. Trista is often asked her secret to being one of the rare reality-TV relationships to make it to the altar and beyond. In this heartfelt book, she shares the simple yet profound keys to finding everyday happiness: gratitude and grace. From the blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments we have with our kids, our spouses, our pets, or even strangers, to the more obvious lessons we pick up from reading the news or hearing an inspirational story, knowing how to recognize, accept, and be grateful for all of our daily blessings is truly what “happily ever after” means.

The Rainbow Runners
Author: Kristen M. Snyder
Publisher: BoD - Books on Demand

Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The Rainbow Runners is a true story of a sled dog adventure told by Alaskan Husky, Nija JaJa, the youngest member of the team, who along with her uncle-buncles and brother set out to follow a dream to participate in a long-distance race through the Swedish mountains. With fewer dogs in the team than is common for such a race, the team begins their journey with an uphill battle. During preparations they experience what it means to build team, and not just a functioning team, but a team that is flexible and adaptable to changing conditions; a team that is built on recognizing and celebrating the unique strengths in each team member; and a team that keeps sight on their own dream, even when others doubt their ability. The story culminates in the 250 kilometers long distance race during which they get caught in a white-out on a mountain top. For more than five hours they struggle to keep themselves safe in the storm and eventually navigate their way off the mountain top down to the final checkpoint. With 89 kilometers left in the race and only a few hours before the race officially closes, the team leaves the last checkpoint at 4 a.m. and does what it takes to cross the finish line demonstrating the power of persistence, the importance of listening to your heart, working together, and believing in yourself.

The Other End of the Leash
Author: Patricia McConnell, Ph.D.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
