VACCINE GUIDE FOR DOGS & CATS
: What Every Pet Lover Should Know
[Catherine Diodati MA]
Veterinary vaccines are given to prevent disease, yet studies show that they are often debilitating and fatal. They have been linked to auto-immune and neurological disorders, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, tumours, seizures, allergies, digestive problems, organ failure, and many other serious ailments. Many veterinarians, both conventional and holistic, are questioning the validity of annual revaccination. They are moving away from this arbitrary recommendation which is unsupported by science. Many also refuse to use certain vaccines because the disease in question is either so benign or rare that the risks associated with vaccination outweigh any promised benefit. This important book provides information on all canine and feline vaccines. It includes several personal stories of vaccine damage to family pets, as well as hundreds of studies documenting veterinary vaccine safety and efficacy problems. As a concerned pet owner, you can now make informed decisions about the health and welfare of your precious four-legged friends.

WORK WONDERS
: Feed Your Dog Raw Meaty Bones
[Dr Tom Lonsdale]
If dogs could talk what would they say is the best diet to keep them in tiptop condition? Would they recommend a selection of cans and packets or would they recommend a fresh rabbit and half a chicken? In this book, Dr Tom Lonsdale inspires us to see a dog's dietary needs from a dog's perspective taking account of Nature's teachings, easily understood science and sound common sense. Eight easy-to-read chapters lead us through the practical essentials of dog feeding including how to source, store and prepare raw food. Risk management is dealt with in Chapter 5. In Chapter 6 we learn about the junk-food induced diseases afflicting modern pets and in Chapter 7 the epidemic of canine oral disease and 'dog breath' is explained. The first seven chapters of "Work Wonders" empower readers to transform their dogs' health. Chapter 8 tells of ways to make the world a better place for dogs and humans too. For your dog's sake, read this book. You dog will be forever grateful.

Additional footage includes demonstrations with more advanced dogs. Levin also discusses training theory, equipment, and dog-training issues specific to SARD dogs (confusion, lethargy, depression). Approximate running time: 48 minutes.

ZIP ZAP
: The True Story of a Dog & a Dream
[Mike Gaddis]
Mike Gaddis swore to be painfully selective in choosing the puppy that would accompany him on the horseback pointing dog trials he so badly wanted to participate in. He knew the smallest female born sixth in the litter of twelve English setters was special, but he didn't understand the power of her potential until he let her loose in the field. Her lightning speed earned her the name Zip Zap, and she grew to be the best bird dog Gaddis ever owned. In this memoir, Gaddis celebrates the dog's indomitable spirit and tells the story of training and developing superior pointers, from their first unrefined runs in the amateur puppy stakes to winning major championships.

DOG BOOK
[Emily Eve Weinstein]
Weinstein showcases her original oil paintings and her related tales of dogs found on motorways and in shelters, of dogs abandoned and then rescued, even of dogs that rescue others. From the unadoptable mutt who finally finds a home to the Search and Rescue dogs of 9/11, this book offers us a compelling and often amusing glimpse into the life of over 60 remarkable canines and their people. Combining captivating prose with oil paintings and pencil drawings of her subjects and inspired by those subjects she so intuitively portrays, Weinstein masterfully manages to bridge the gap between artist and essayist. These dogs' stories serve as living proof that given a chance, time and the proper attention, even the most unlikely stray can find a home. Weinstein also pays tribute to the 350 Search and Rescue dogs and their handlers who came from all 50 states in the effort to locate 9/11 survivors and to the NYPD dogs that stayed on after the others had left.

POLLY
: A White German Shepherd Dog
[D Brian Plummer]
This is an account of an enduring relationship between the author and Polly his white German Shepherd. The story starts with Brian's need for protection for his property. After an abortive attempt to provide this with two vicious Dobermans, Brian finally acts upon advice and purchases a white German Shepherd puppy, Polly. He soon discovers that she has an amazing desire and ability to learn, and he trains her to an exceptionally high standard, at the same time forming a very close relationship with her. Polly had a remarkable character, capable of surprising even Brian, with his lifetime's experience with dogs. This is no more evident than when as a puppy she takes to water as naturally as a Labrador (this was to prove vital later in their lives), or when he finds her tending a badly injured piglet, and then suckling it. The book is peppered with anecdotes of their times together, seeking a living from the land and the sea, where cutting peat, sledding and creel-fishing in some of the most dangerous stretches of sea in Britain were a part of every day life. Polly must be one of the few dogs to have been attacked by a conger eel. An unusual story of a very special dog told in Brian's usual eloquent style.

LONESOME
: Memoirs of a Wilderness Dog
[Chris Czajowski]
Charming, humorous and utterly engaging, this is a book that will make readers laugh and cry. Written from the point of view and in the voice of the author’s dog, Lonesome, its observations of life in the wilds reveal a dog with great character, charm -- and attitude. Named for her first home, remote Lonesome Lake in British Columbia’s Tweedsmuir Park, Lonesome was a first-rate companion: obedient, mannerly, brave, yet occasionally cynical. She did not share her human’s love of the wilderness, and wore a martyred expression for most of her life. She would have much preferred a life in the suburbs, “with nice safe walks in the park and a cosy bed inside the house.” Lonesome’s memoirs paint a vivid and not altogether flattering picture of her life with Chris, but as she states, “I am not a vindictive creature and this book will remain family reading.” Lonesome loftily points out in her introduction that her book focuses on events not already recounted in Chris’s previous books, and she shares her unique canine perspective on their day-to-day life in the wilds.

MAX THE DOG THAT REFUSED TO DIE & PEPPER'S ORDEAL
[Kura Petrovskaya Wayne]
Retells the true adventure of Max who becomes lost and severely injured but makes his way over rugged terrain reaching a cabin where he is befriended and rushed to a vet. Almost totally emaciated from his ordeal, Max's chances for recovery are slim. Still, his indomitable will bolsters him against all obstacles. A tag with his owner's telephone number allows the kindly strangers to notify the owners of Max's condition. Helped by several specialists and the devotion of his family, Max eventually recovers. Pepper's Ordeal is the true story of another of Kyra Wayne's beloved Dobermans. An open gate leads Pepper to a sinister character and rusty cages full of raging pitbulls. After some shrewd detective work, Kyra and a pair of courageous boys rescue Pepper from a dogfight training farm, but not without an encounter with the woman with 'one long earring'.

CANINE PARABLES
: Portraits of God & Life
[Paulette Zubel]
Through observations of her dogs' wacky and winsome antics, Zubel shares analogies of God's loving nature, our relationship with him, and how we can grow closer to God from life's experiences. All dog fanciers will relate to the behaviours of Lady, Perry, Jet, Velvet, and Buster, and respond with a smile, a good laugh, and even a tear. Sixty-three devotionals will uplife you, and encourage you to know God better and grow in your love for him. In their inimitable way, Paulette's dogs give a new twist to the old saying, 'a dog is man's best friend', by reminding us that God is our best friend.

SPIRITUALITY OF PETS
[James Taylor]
Readers will recognise their own pets -- and themselves -- in the many stories about Mush, Brick, and Phoebe, some of the animal companions who have filled Taylor's life. Fascinating insights from those who have studied the lives of pets and other animals add to the richness and depth of Taylor's text. Heart-warming and inspiring, THE SPIRITUALITY OF PETS invites readers to explore their own spirituality, through the lens of the animals who share their lives. As Taylor says, "You may wonder, can animals teach spirituality if they don't have spirituality themselves? Our pets may or may not have spirituality themselves -- and by the way, I do think that many animals experience elements of awe and wonder, just as we do -- but certainly our association with them affects our own spirituality." Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photography, THE SPIRITUALITY OF PETS celebrates the love and life and learning our pets bring to us, and the many ways they can open us to the world of the spirit.

ANIMALS' VIEWPOINT ON DYING, DEATH & EUTHANASIA
[Elizabeth Severino, DD, DRS]
This book, presented by a skilled animal communicator and spiritual healer, gifts the clarity and perspective of the animals' viewpoints on dying, death, and euthanasia, to loving care-persons wanting to make conscious decisions involving the lives of animal companions entrusted to them, thereby minimising grief and dispelling doubt. Told from the perspective of the author's life experiences and loving stories from the animals, the basic message of the book is one of love everlasting, eternal and infinite spirits in finite bodies; and that the correct knowing and correct action for the well-being of our beloved animal friends will come from the compassion and mercy of a loving heart. The book includes processes to connect with this knowing, to help guide.
