Who are you, dog?
Who Are You, Dog? presents a structured and practical model for understanding canine behavior through individual personality structure.At the heart of the book is CDPEM, the Canine Dynamic Personality and Element Model, a framework developed from over 40 years of hands-on work with thousands of dogs. The model defines canine personality as a dynamic system built from identifiable behavioral and physiological elements.The book maps 116 distinct elements, organized into element types, and explains how they interact, balance and shape behavior over time. Rather than categorizing dogs into general types, each dog is understood as a unique personality configuration with its own internal dynamics.A core principle of the book is that training, communication, and daily interaction must be adapted to the individual dog. Because no two dogs share the same combination of intensity of elements, effective work requires approaches that align with each dog's sensitivities, limits and strengths.Who Are You, Dog? explores personality development, including early exposure, critical development periods, inherited predispositions and acquired behaviors. It clarifies what can be shaped through training and what represents stable personality features that must be understood and worked with, not forced to change.Written for trainers, behavior professionals, veterinarians, researchers and serious dog owners, the book provides practical tools, assessment frameworks and a clear system for engaging with dogs as individuals rather than generic cases.

The True Tails of Baker and Taylor
"Not since George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life has someone so lifted the spirits of an entire community. That the 'someone' in this case is, in fact, two library cats makes this true tale of the love of literature combined with a fondness for nose licking all the more magical. This book, like a purring kitten who may also be a genie, should be welcomed into any home."--Francesco Marciuliano, New York Times bestselling author of I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats It all started with mice in the library. Assistant librarian Jan Louch and a coworker decided that what the library needed was a cat. Or, even better, two cats. Soon, they found a pair of Scottish Folds who were perfect for the job. Jan named them Baker and Taylor, and they took up residence in the library. But these cats were much more than mousers. Visitors to the library fell in love with Baker and Taylor and their antics just as Jan had. And then, after Jan let the cats be photographed for a poster, they became feline celebrities. Children from across the country wrote them letters, fans traveled from far and wide to meet them, and they became the most famous library cats in the world. In The True Tails of Baker and Taylor, Jan Louch looks back and tells the remarkable story of these two marvelous cats and the people--readers, librarians, and cat lovers of all ages--who came together around them.

Good Grief
"A wonderful, unusual, and healing book. . . Read this book to affirm that love never dies, and you are not alone."--Sy MontgomeryAn unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they've passed.E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets--dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they've taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also--with rare exception--to lose that pet in time.But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don't have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals--from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can.Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels's own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family.
