by Sanders, Pj       
(Paperback - English - 9781515388357)
When another hunter intentionally kills his hunting dog during a pheasant hunt in North Dakota, P.J. Sanders's grief is immense. It takes eighteen months before he and his wife, Cindy, decide to open their hearts and their home to another dog. This time, though, Sanders decides to go for a heartier breed-something able to hunt with him throughout the frigid Wisconsin winters. He finds a breeder of German Wirehaired Pointers and, a few months later, a young puppy named Josie joins the family.

The $60,000 Dog: My Life with Animals
by Slater, Lauren    Campbell, Cassandra   
(MP3 CD - English - 9781522604587)
A stunning new book about the role of animals in our lives, by a popular and acclaimed writer. From the time she is nine years old and discovers a "Private Way" full of the wonderful and creepy creatures of the wild--spiders, deer, moles, chipmunks, and foxes--Lauren Slater finds in animals a refuge from the troubled life of her suburban home. As she matures, her bond with animals--raccoons, horses, swans, cats, and primarily, dogs--strengthens and grows more complex and compelling. They offer relief from the pain of her mother's mental illness, from a foster family where she feels not at all at home, from her own periodic bouts with depression. As a psycholog ..

Little Boy Blue: A Puppy's Rescue from Death Row and His Owner's Journey for Truth
by Kavin, Kim    Plummer, Therese    Davis, Jonathan
(MP3 CD - English - 9781522603795)
When journalist Kim Kavin decided that she wanted a puppy, she did what millions of people do every year: clicked on an online photo and submitted an application. She had no idea that the adorable brindle--advertised as healthy and near her home in New Jersey--was actually a last-minute rescue from a gas-chamber shelter in North Carolina. Blue had arrived in the Northeast with at least a dozen other dogs in an RV that is just one among countless transports whose sponsors are dedicating their efforts to saving dogs by any means possible. Blue was happy and friendly, but he seemed to have endured some unusual, albeit unknown, ordeal. The dog's manner prompted Kav ..

Mother Nature's Little Critters
by Fenter, Kenneth       
(Paperback - English - 9781512348972)
Some of the first stories in this anthology sent as Christmas cards or published as little chapbooks for the family and close friends. Early stories were inspired by letters from my mother while she and Dad were in Texas building a house. Other stories were inspired by calls in the night to come rescue opossums from a friend's backyard or a ferret from her woodpile. One was based on a cat that showed up in our garage one day and disappeared on the exact same day a year later. During that year, she never once ventured outside the house, even though she had every opportunity to do so. Through the years, there was a succession of dogs and cats that found us. Some s ..

A Voice in the Hills: A Man Making a Difference
by Rizzo, Leonard       
(Paperback - English - 9781511543637)
Leonard Rizzo sees the best and worst we offer to the most vulnerable members of society-the animals we keep as pets. The animals of Polk County, North Carolina, come to him lost and abandoned, sick and abused. Rizzo welcomes them all, working tirelessly to rehabilitate them, treat their wounds, and find them the homes they deserve. These are their stories-theirs, and those of the man they call Uncle Lennie. With a quick wit and ever open heart for his "kids," Rizzo introduces readers to characters like Banjo, the eight-year-old springer spaniel who arrived at the local humane society as a matted, dirty mess of malnutrition and hookworms, only to blossom into a ..

Seven Cats and the Art of Living
by Coudert, Jo    Burr, Sandra   
(MP3 CD - English - 9781501287008)
Jo Coudert didn't start out with seven cats. She began with just one, Kate, a gorgeous tortoiseshell Persian who knew exactly who she was - the apple of her mistress' eye. But as Jo, a New Yorker, began spending weekends and eventually all her time at GoWell, a small house in rural New Jersey, she began to acquire cats - or more accurately, they acquired her: strays, waifs, orphaned kittens, homeless toms, and cats who came to dinner and never left. Seven Cats and the Art of Living tells about the cats - Kate, Poppy, Chester, Socksie, Trot, Bitty and Sweet William - who share GoWell with Jo and her dog, Freebie. Their stories are instructive, quietly inspiring a ..

There's a Hamster in the Dashboard
by Berner, David W.       
(Paperback - English - 9780990840718)
A book of essays by award-winning author and journalist David W. Berner is the next best thing to storytelling around a bonfire. In "There's a Hamster in the Dashboard," Berner shares stories of "a life in pets"-from a collie that herds Berner home when the author goes "streaking" through the neighborhood as a two-year-old, to a father crying in front of his son for the only time in his life while burying the family dog on the Fourth of July. And from the ant farm that seems like a great learning experience (until the ants learn how to escape), to the hamster that sets out on its own road trip (but only gets as far as the dashboard). Along the way, Berner shows ..
