Book Description
The longer we look into them, the deeper the ocean of possibilities seems to be. In their essence, a baby’s eyes are God’s ultimate totems of purity, the purity of love. When the baby grows into a teen and then into an adult, something changes about those eyes. Somehow, they seem to lose the purity of love. It’s quite the opposite story when you look at a dog’s eyes – they are pure when they are born, they are pure the day they die, and they are pure every day in between. They shower love on humans all through their lives. However, dogs barely get a chance to show the same unconditional love to their own species, because they live in a human-centric universe where humans call the shots. Someone once said humans need dogs because there is no other way for them to experience pure love. Has anyone ever wondered how things would be if dogs got to call the shots? Would a dog mother ever let her baby go? Would a pup ever leave her mother’s side? Highly unlikely, because in their capacity to love, a human mother is a bear mother, is a whale mother, is a squirrel mother, is a dog mother.

Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
During a blizzard in 2012, Kelly brought Loki—a husky/arctic wolf/malamute mix—home. Kelly had his fair share of experiences with large dogs, but Loki was different. Kelly felt that he had to listen closely to Loki and enter into his world. At that time, Kelly decided that he would do everything possible to not leave him behind at the house. They started backcountry snowboarding together when Loki was four months old, and before his third birthday, he’d seen most of the western United States. Loki the Wolfdog has developed a massive following across social media. With 1.5 million followers on Instagram and 140,000 likes on Facebook, people have grown to love following Kelly and Loki’s adventures. Starting out just for fun, Kelly started an Instagram account for Loki documenting their escapades. The story was later picked up by numerous websites, giving them unexpected exposure. Realizing that they now have a voice in the social media community, they want to give back and inspire others to get out, explore the world, and make memories with their pups. Loki the Wolfdog has a massive following, because people have enjoyed watching Kelly and Loki’s undeniable bond. The story is both philosophical and visual: an invitation to experience life through Kelly and Loki’s eyes.

The Testament of Loki
Author: Joanne M. Harris

ISBN: 1481449516
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In the sequel to The Gospel of Loki, Loki’s adventures continue when he finds a way out of the end of the world and plans to restart the power of the Norse gods. The end of the world—also known as Ragnarok to the Norse gods—has occurred, and Loki has been trapped in a seemingly endless purgatory, in torture, until he finds a way to escape. It seems that he still exists in the minds of humanity and uses that as a way to our time. Back in the ninth world (Earth), Loki finds himself sharing the mind of a teenage girl named Jumps, who is a bit of a mess. She’s also not happy about Loki sneaking his way into her mind since she was originally calling on Thor. Worse, her friends have also been co-opted by the gods: Odin, Jump’s one-eyed best friend in a wheelchair, and Freya, the pretty one. Thor escapes the netherworld as well and shares the mind of a dog, and he finds that it suits him. Odin has a plan to bring back the Norse gods ascendancy, but Loki has his own ideas on how things can go—and nothing goes according to plan.
