A
Dog's Purpose A tail-wagging three hanky boo-hooer, this
delightful
fiction debut by newspaper columnist Cameron (8 Simple Rules for
Marrying My Daughter) proposes that a dog's purpose might entail being
reborn several times. Told in a touching, doggy first-person, this
unabashedly sentimental tale introduces Toby, who's rescued by a woman
without a license for her rescue operation, so, sadly, Toby ends up
euthanized. He's reborn in a puppy mill and after almost dying while
left in a hot car, he's saved again by a woman, and he becomes Bailey,
a beloved golden retriever, who finds happiness and many adventures.
His next intense incarnation is as Ellie, a female German shepherd, a heroic search and rescue dog. But the true purpose of this dog's life doesn't become totally clear until his reincarnation as Buddy, a black Lab. A book for all age groups who admire canine courage, Cameron also successfully captures the essence of a dog's amazing capacity to love and protect. And happily, unlike Marley, this dog stays around for the long haul.

Editorial Reviews from School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-Crisp, an avowed animal lover and writer of dog stories, has collected questions from kids over the years. Here, she offers answers to some of their more intriguing inquiries. There is no formal arrangement, which in no way detracts from the book's usefulness. The opening query, "Do dogs come from dinosaurs?" seems silly at first. But the answer completely and clearly delves into doggie ancestry. Canine sense of smell is fully explained, and readers learn that some dogs can even sniff out cancer in humans. In all, over 30 dog-related questions are answered. The readable text is set on a generous white background. Questions are posed in larger print and light green fact circles expand on various points. The abundant full-color photographs are appealing. A "Dog Superlatives" page lists the fastest (greyhound), the quietest (basenji), and even the dumbest (Afghan hound), etc. Everything Dog offers plenty of canine facts in a browsable format. A first purchase. Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Dog
Tricks For Dummies makes trick training fun for you and
your dog. You can teach simple tricks, like wagging the tail on
command, and more complex ones, like fetching a soda from the
refrigerator. This handy guide also shows you how to
- Use basic commands such as Sit, Stay, Down, and Go.
- Teach good manners: Potty in one place, settle in one spot, pick up toys
- Identify your dog's personality: Eager Beaver, Comedian, Bully, and more
- Keep injuries at bay with a health plan
- Teach jumps (and when not to jump)
- Have fun in the snow: Sledding, skijoring, and tunneling
- Go hiking, backpacking, or carting with your dog
- Train your dog to run an agility course
- Play Frisbee and flyball
- Participate in pet therapy and at kids' parties
Sharing your life with a dog shouldn’t be a militaristic venture, selfishly designed around what you want your dog to do. Owning a dog is about joining two different species, two different spirits, in a way that will make the world better for both.
