The Monster Dog Life S Lessons Learned

Tasse, a small Shih Tzu with a BIG attitude, has gotten herself into many troublesome situations. Much like a young child, she sometimes does not know how to solve these problems. She shares what she learned from her problems In The Monster Dog - Life's Lessons Learned. Tasse learns a really hard lesson when she sneaks out of her yard, gets lost, and meets Sport. She wants to go home, but he says, "Come with me, and let me show you some real fun." She confesses she really didn't want to, but "I wanted him to like me and I wanted him to be my friend." So, they went on down the street together. "Watch this!" he says as he knocks over a garbage can. A lady comes rushing out and Sport runs away leaving Tasse lost and scared and all alone. She determines that "from now on I will listen to my conscience and be more careful who I choose to be my friend."The thirteen stories in the book will delight children. They will help parents and teachers guide children in being welcoming, the consequences of being sneaky, gaining attention the right way, and learning about forgiveness. Beautifully illustrated, artist Katie Hunderosse, has created special pictures that enhance each story. Tasse freely admits that sometimes she just didn't know what to do. Children, parents, and teachers will enjoy what The Monster Dog learned about life's lessons.

The second in a series of books for children, The Monster Dog is narrated by 'Tasse' the Shih Tzu. Tasse's story teaches children about Alzheimer's Disease and the changes it can cause in their loved ones. Suitable for children, ages 7 to 12 years.

The uplifting tale of life lessons learned from three passionate, energetic and wise Boxer dogs that popped into Angela's life and imparted their knowledge and doggie wisdom at times when she needed it most. After watching her three tan and white male Boxer dogs Towser, Sammie and Max and how they spent their days, Angela realises that her dogs instinctively know how to enjoy themselves and to fill their days savouring each and every moment. It's as if her dogs knew something she didn't, or paid attention to the things she should have. Despite their oftentimes questionable behaviour, which has her racing to the vet on several occasions, vacuuming the backyard (yes, you read that right), setting up a stakeout to catch Sammie swinging from the clothesline, erecting an electric fence around the garden, and a very embarrassing moment at a dog show, their special kind of insight teaches Angela important character traits like patience, perseverance and resourcefulness. While the life lessons are unique to say the least, there's no mistaking that each was cloaked in affection and dispensed with boundless energy. It makes her think about how simple a dog's life is, how much they seem to get out of it, and the lessons we could all learn from them if only we took the time to watch. Website address

The twentieth anniversary of a postmodern classic, blending the gothic novel with bleeding-edge science fiction After a century of cruel experimentation, a haunted race of genetically and biomechanically uplifted canines are created by the followers of a mad nineteenth-century Prussian surgeon. Possessing human intelligence, speaking human language, fitted with prosthetic hands, and walking upright on their hind legs, the monster dogs are intended to be super soldiers. Rebelling against their masters, however, and plundering the isolated village where they were created, the now wealthy dogs make their way to New York, where they befriend the young NYU student Cleo Pira and—acting like Victorian aristocrats—become reluctant celebrities. Unable to reproduce, doomed to watch their race become extinct, the highly cultured dogs want no more than to live in peace and be accepted by contemporary society. Little do they suspect, however, that the real tragedy of their brief existence is only now beginning. Told through a variety of documents—diaries, newspaper clippings, articles for Vanity Fair, and even a portion of an opera libretto—Kirsten Bakis’s Lives of the Monster Dogs uses its science-fictional premise to launch a surprisingly emotional exploration of the great themes: love, death, and the limits of compassion. A contemporary classic, this edition features a new introduction by Jeff VanderMeer.

In The Monster Dog: What Shall I Be When I Grow Up?, Tasse ponders the possibilities of her future. Should she be a singer? Or perhaps an astronaut? The sky's the limit, after all!Beautifully illustrated in watercolor, this light-hearted exploration of career paths will entertain children and spark their imaginations.Suitable for ages 4 to 8 years.

DOG TALK chronicles Harrison Forbes's life with dogs, from the first bond he formed as a boy with a Belgian Tervuren named Sabina, to the story of Lex, a police dog who attacked his owner's wife, and was redeemed by Harrison's intense love and respect for the breed. Forbes also offers practical aspects of understanding and dealing with whatever type of dog the reader may have. In DOG TALK, the pet owner will find fascinating insights into behavioral problems, as each chapter addresses a different situation or issue. Here are some of Harrison's trademark insights into dog behavior and training: *Energy management is the basis of behavior management : unwanted or aggressive behavior, is often the result of pent-up, frustrated energy *Dog behavior should always be taken in context; a dog that is housetrained in its home isn't necessarily so everywhere else *Every dog's make-up is individual and distinct--:a combination of nature and nurture *Non-verbal communication, structure and clearly delineated limits, and the human-canine bond are basic building blocks in a good relationship *Reasonable expectations are key to an enjoyable pet experience DOG TALK is at times funny, irreverent, insightful, and touching, and it will deepen the reader's understanding of dog behavior and as a result will enable him to approach his own dog in a fresh and motivated way to begin, improve, mend, or strengthen a relationship that can last a lifetime.
