Dogs as pets Books
Beacon Press A Matter of Breeding A Biting History of Pedigree
Book SynopsisA provocative look at the ‘cult of pedigree’ and an entertaining social history of purebred dogs—“a must-read for all dog lovers” (Booklist). So-called “purebreds” are the mainstay of the dog industry. Expert Michael Brandow argues these aren’t time-honored traditions—but rather commercial inventions of the 19th century that were marketed as status symbols to a growing middle class. Combining social history and consumer studies with sharp commentary, this reveals the sordid history of the dog industry and shows how our brand-name pets pay the price with devastatingly poor health. It includes chapters devoted to popular breeds such as: • Golden Retrievers • Boston Terriers • English Bulldogs • Labrador Retrievers An essential read for animal lovers and animal rights activists everywhere, A Matter of Breeding

Random House USA Inc Good Dog Stay
Book Synopsis“The life of a good dog is like the life of a good person, only shorter and more compressed,” writes Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anna Quindlen about her beloved black Labrador retriever, Beau. With her trademark wisdom and humor, Quindlen reflects on how her life has unfolded in tandem with Beau’s, and on the lessons she’s learned by watching him: to roll with the punches, to take things as they come, to measure herself not in terms of the past or the future but of the present, to raise her nose in the air from time to time and, at least metaphorically, holler, “I smell bacon!”Of the dog that once possessed a catcher’s mitt of a mouth, Quindlen reminisces, “there came a time when a scrap thrown in his direction usually bounced unseen off his head. Yet put a pork roast in the oven, and the guy still breathed as audibly as an obscene caller. The eyes and ears may have gone, but the nose was eternal. And the tail. The tail still wa

WW Norton & Co Once a Wolf: The Science Behind Our Dogs'
Book SynopsisHow did wolves evolve into dogs? When did this happen, and what role did humans play? Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes used the full array of modern technology to explore the canine genetic journey when our ancestors first learned to hunt together with wolves. In the process, he discovered that only a handful of genes have created the huge range of shapes, sizes, and colors in modern dogs. Providing insight into these adaptive stages in “prose both scientific and poetic” (Booklist), Once a Wolf also focuses attention on how human evolution was enhanced by this most improbable ally. Whether examining our obsession with canine purity or delving into the prehistoric past to answer the most fundamental question of all—Why do we love our dog so much?—this book is “a must read for anybody who has ever wondered about the origins of human’s best friend” (Library Journal).

Chicago Review Press The Dog Log: An Accidental Memoir of Yapping
Book SynopsisThe Dog Log, written as a daily notation to the sheriff’s department, begins as a simple complaint about a barking dog, but it soon becomes a powerful self-exploration and confessional. It’s a touching, hilarious, and cleverly sneaky memoir of a man in Los Angeles who rediscovers himself when his elderly neighbor falls and he must reluctantly tend to her two badly behaved Yorkshire terriers. What he discovers in her apartment shocks him into a surprising decision, and by addressing her problems, he inadvertently resolves his own. With humor and honesty, The Dog Log looks into big-city loneliness, heartbreak, and old age, but then climbs into the light. When one man knocks on his neighbor’s door, and his life changes forever. Trade Review"A quick read with a happy-for-now ending." -- Booklist"Compelling and original ... A strange, sideways journey into human contact." -- Madeleine Smithberg, cocreator/executive producer of The Daily Show"Unpretentious and real, this soulful confessional is a welcome departure from the tired cynicism of hipster culture... as nourishing as it is entertaining." -- David Robertson, cinematographer, writer and director"If Dostoyevsky lived in Los Angeles -- and had a sense of humor -- Notes from the Underground might have turned out a lot like The Dog Log . Deep, funny and beautifully written, this semi-fictionalized memoir is an antidote to modern urban alienation." -- Greg Miller, cocreator and founding producer of Un-Cabaret, author of How to Be a Writer Who Writes and Miller's Compendium of Timeless Tools for the Modern Writer"'Mirth is the mail of anguish' said Emily Dickinson, and many classic American humorists have agreed. In The Dog Log , Richard Lucas spins a yarn that's both funny and sad, yet happily engaging. After piloting steamboats, Mark Twain did stand-up comedy and became an author. He might be smiling benignly as in today's Tinseltown this modern storyteller cleverly navigates the shoals of friendship and romance, bureaucracy and metaphysics, showbiz and sanitation -- all with a cargo of kibble." -- Michael West, PhD, author of Transcendental Wordplay: America's Romantic Punsters and the Search for the Language of Nature"Richard is a master storyteller... The Dog Log is such a clever conceit, and, beyond funny, it's an awakening -- humbling, personal and profound. Watching him tell his story to audiences and read from The Dog Log has been both exciting and inspiring. And even better, now it can be a proper book for everyone to enjoy." -- Michael Patrick Duggan, executive director of LA Story Works and the Los Angeles Storytelling Festival"The first book to have brought a tear to my eye in years. . . Funny, poignant and clevera veritable reinvention of the modern love story which reveals unexpected corners to find love in a modern age." -- Rusty Lemorande, Producer and Golden Globe winner, Yentl; supervising producer, Caddyshack"As both a psychotherapist and a reader, I was enthralled by The Dog Log ... It is exceedingly rare to find a book that expresses such depth of feeling from the male point of view. I hope that everyone in the counseling and other helping professions takes the opportunity to benefit from the window of insight that Lucas's wonderful book provides into the complexity of relationships, both with other humans and with our four-legged friends." -- Dr Ilene Krems, DPM, MFT, licensed marriage and family therapist

In the hilarious videos that ensued, the dogs engage in various contests, from bone-snatching and breakfast-eating to crushing it on the dog walk, while Cotter narrates to hilarious effect. The scene of Mabel, simply standing still in a fetid pond was one of the most popular. Why? Because this is how dogs live, and Cotter captured it with humor and joy. It’s why the series has been viewed more than 50 million times, entertaining dog owners, sports fans and celebrities around the world. Olive and Mabel are more than online celebrities, however, as revealed in this charming narrative. Filled with stories about how Cotter fell in love with his dogs, his passion for hiking with them through the glens and over the peaks of his native Scotland, and the ongoing relationship between Olive and Mabel (particularly the “competitive fire” lit during these days of quarantine), the memoir is by turns side-splittingly funny and thoughtfully tender.
