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

New Atlantean Press Vaccine Guide for Dogs and Cats: What Every Pet

They are moving away from this arbitrary recommendation which is unsupported by science. Many also refuse to use certain vaccines because the disease in question is either so benign or rare that the risks associated with vaccination outweigh any promised benefit.This important book provides information on all canine and feline vaccines. It includes several personal stories of vaccine damage to family pets, as well as hundreds of studies documenting veterinary vaccine safety and efficacy problems. As a concerned pet owner, you can now make informed decisions about the health and welfare of your precious four-legged friends.

Living Human Heritage Publications Professor Dr. Theodor Abt Animals and Animal Dreams
Book SynopsisOn the basis of a lifelong relationship with cats, dogs, and horses, Regina Abt a graduate of the Zurich C G Jung Institute in 1985 who worked for many years with Dr M-L von Franz, has the ability to understand the dream motifs of cat, dog, and horse in their unique and life-guiding ways. The personal and archetypal dimension of the psyche is nourished by this book. Animals in dreams tell us something about our own inner instinctual nature from which civilised man has increasingly distanced himself. They provide indications as to how we can once again show due respect for this instinctual life energy with its hidden knowledge, and also show us where we underestimate and violate them. In this book we look at animal dreams as a symbolic expression of the instinctual, that is, unconscious psychic functioning of man, which is crucial for the well-being of both the individual and the society.
