Book Description
Approximately four years ago (in 2010), I saw the most unbelievable happening. My adorable Yorkshire Terrier named Wizzie saved a drowning kitten from my family’s pool in San Diego. It was an astonishing act of bravery for this 6½ lb. bundle of fur. If you know anything about a Yorkie, they’re fearless and have a big dog’s demeanor. Being a writer, I knew I had a story to tell. However, I wasn’t a children’s picture book writer. When I spoke to my friend Lynne Berger about it, she thought it would make a great story and we should write it. Lynne is a very talented children’s book writer whom I have grown to respect. We wrote the story together, but it kept getting postponed due to our health issues. In the summer of 2014 Lynne and I decided to move on with the Wizzie project. We would like to introduce you to ‘Wizzie’, my very own wonder dog. I think this story will reinstate your belief in courage and heroism. Please feel free to ask us any questions about Wizzie or our plans for this wondrous series. We would welcome your inputs and encouragement. Raman B. is an excellent illustrator, who made Wizzie come alive on paper for your children and grandchildren alike. Our editor Jagdeep Sambey believes that a children’s book should not just entertain, but instruct and educate also. There is a time to develop a child’s passion for reading and the time is NOW! We’re proud to bring you this amazing story.

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.

Discover the power, joy, and love of living a present, authentic, and intentional life despite a world full of distractions. If technology is the new addiction, then multitasking is the new marching order. We check our email while cooking dinner, send a text while bathing the kids, and spend more time looking into electronic screens than into the eyes of our loved ones.
