I’m Still Here
NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR FANS OF A DOG'S PURPOSE. This richly illustrated book reveals a comforting narrative told from the point of view of a loving angel dog, who wants you to know, "I'm still here . . . But I'm also there where all the animals run free, with no pain, waiting for you, watching for you, loving you, and guiding you." Losing one's dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it's hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I'm Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball. There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog's purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn't know how to do "leash") toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer. Author Cathryn Michon co-wrote the blockbuster hit film A Dog's Purpose. Elegant, full-color watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Seth Taylor make this sumptuous volume the perfect gesture of compassion for anyone who has ever said goodbye to a dog (or person) gone too soon, because it's always too soon. It turns out that the best way to honor those we've loved and lost is to be here now, until we meet again.

Exploring the bond between dogs and humans in case studies from across thousands of years This volume offers a rich archaeological portrait of the human-canine connection. Contributors investigate the ways people have viewed and valued dogs in different cultures around the world and across the ages. Case studies from North and South America, the Arctic, Australia, and Eurasia present evidence for dogs in roles including pets, guards, hunters, and herders. In these chapters, faunal analysis from the Ancient Near East suggests that dogs contributed to public health by scavenging garbage, and remains from a Roman temple indicate that dogs were offered as sacrifices in purification rites. Essays also chronicle the complex partnership between Aboriginal peoples and the dingo and describe how the hunting abilities of dogs made them valuable assets for Indigenous groups in the Amazon rainforest. The volume draws on multidisciplinary methods that include zooarchaeological analysis; scientific techniques such as dental microwear, isotopic, and DNA analyses; and the integration of history, ethnography, multispecies scholarship, and traditional cultural knowledge to provide an in-depth account of dogs' lives. Showing that dogs have been a critical ally for humankind through cooperation and companionship over thousands of years, this volume broadens discussions about how relationships between people and animals have shaped our world.

Dog Training

Would you like your dog to develop into a content, non-hostile canine that brings affection and happiness to the entire family? If that is the case, you are just a few moments away from acquiring the most coveted training advice that even the most highly compensated "dog whisperers" are reluctant to provide.The singing dog is renowned for its wide range of vocalizations, which it employs to communicate. These vocalizations are markedly different from the barking of other domesticated canines and are intended to imitate the vocalizations of their feral counterparts. These canines, which resemble foxes in terms of their size and physical structure, are of small to medium size. Their coat is brief and can exhibit various colors and patterns. They possess a wedge-shaped head, erect ears, and a voluminous tail.The behavior of your dog is a reflection of their emotional condition. Merely attempting to control and alter their behavior without comprehending and resolving the root issues is the reason for the lack of success in your endeavors. This can result in dissatisfaction for both you and your pet, exacerbate preexisting undesirable behaviors, and give rise to entirely new ones. Therefore, do not hold yourself responsible for your inability to comprehend the situation independently. By acquiring the appropriate knowledge and employing the correct methodology, you can unleash the inherent capabilities of your pet and establish an affectionate and obedient partner.
