The Four Legged Parishioner of All Saints
It seems that people are not being taught to treat animals with love and respect. God's creatures have feelings and hurt when mistreated, the same as you and I. Some four-legged friends are so devoted to their owners that they love them no matter what goes on. You only have to look into their eyes to see when they are happy, sad, or hurting. It saddens God when he sees these wonderful friends neglected or abused.God also gets very angry, so those who are guilty of being cruel to animals had better watch it. He might send someone like me to "clean their clock."
Tina
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND IRISH TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. _ Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love. It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately - golden retrievers are rare in Thailand - but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider - always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world - whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. This is her story.

Leap of Faith
Leap of Faith: Tiny Paws, Tenacious Spirit is the heart-wrenching and soul-lifting true story of Frog, a beagle puppy born into a world of "wonky" eyes and mismatched legs. When Amy Barton first met Frog, she didn't just see a tiny, wobbly puppy with multiple special needs; she saw a "superhero in disguise" with a passion for chaos, cuddles, and sausage rolls.Following the sudden loss of their beloved Labrador, Lucius, Frog arrived at a time of deep grief for Amy and her other dogs, Pup and Baloo. While his body remained pint-sized due to a diagnosis of dwarfism, his personality was anything but small. From "bouncing" through life and tackling stairs fearlessly to mastering his "Frogmobile" stroller and eventually a custom wheelchair, Frog refused to let physical limitations define his world.This memoir chronicles the reality of life with a special-needs pet-the specialised hydrotherapy, the laser treatments, the surgeries, and the "new normals". Yet, it is more than a medical journey. It is a celebration of "beagley awoos," birthday parties in secure fields, and the unbreakable bond of a pack that treats every member as a champion.Frog's story is a powerful reminder that strength isn't measured by how fast we run, but by the love we give and the joy we spread.

Perfect for animal lovers and anyone seeking a story of pure resilience, this book captures the extraordinary impact of one very small dog with a very big heart. Keywords (comma-separated) - Upto 1

This book delves into the intricate dynamics of our relationship with dogs, examining how it is, how it should be, and the parallels and divergences between our species. The book is divided into four parts, each rich with sub-chapters filled with engaging stories, real-life cases, analogies, and metaphors. The content is designed to be accessible, practical, and relatable, written in a way that speaks directly to the reader. This book is for anyone who loves dogs and seeks to deepen their understanding of our four-legged friends. Silvia Jay believes it is time for us to truly become a dog's best friend, so they can be ours. If you share this sentiment, "In Kinship with Dogs" will guide you toward that goal.

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.
