John had followed a bad path, drifting in and out of trouble, sent to improvement schools, a young offenders' institution and, finally, to prison. He was on self-destruct, and believed that nothing and no one could help him. But when he was viciously attacked by a notorious train 'steaming' gang, he knew he had to take the witness stand. The evidence he so bravely gave helped put his attackers behind bars, but just as it appeared that he was turning his life around, Fate dealt him another blow. Overnight, John Tovey went blind.

Dez brought colour and meaning back to John's life, and slowly he learned how to live again as he and his loyal dog stepped out of the shadows and back into the light. It was a perfect partnership, and in 2012 Dez won the coveted 'Guide Dog of the Year Award'.

Download or read book It Took a Human written by Dan Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi! My name's Elsa. I'm a dog. That's right, a dog. How can a dog write a book you ask? Well, I did. Now I'm a Great Pyrenees and I have huge paws. When I sit up at the computer, one paw covers half the keyboard. When I have both paws up there, I can't even read the letters. So my master, owner, and best friend, Dan Holmes, actually typed the manuscript for me. But I was right there with him the whole time as he read each section aloud to get my approval before continuing. Mr. Dan knows me better than I know myself, so I think, in the end, he's captured my thoughts exactly. You see, Mr. Dan wrote his own book called IT TOOK A DOG, also available on Amazon. After his oldest son Scott read his book he told his Dad he ought to write a second book but this time from my, the dog's, perspective. Of course, I thought this was a brilliant idea and convinced Mr. Dan this was essential to "tell the WHOLE story." Is it absolutely necessary for you to read Mr. Dan's first book, IT TOOK A DOG, before reading this one? No. My book stands on its own. But it would help, as I tell most of the same stories as in Mr. Dan's book, just from my perspective. So this is a story about me, a Great Pyrenees named Elsa, and how Mr. Dan changed my life. I will detail how I went from an abandoned rescue dog at an animal refuge, to my being adopted and finding my forever home, and eventually becoming a therapy dog. I will also detail the work Mr. Dan and I do every week as a therapy dog team and stories about how we've touched and, occasionally, changed countless lives in our three years together as a therapy dog team. I'll start at the beginning, before I ever met Mr. Dan. So who should read my book? Well, at times, my language can get a bit "salty." Why? Think about it. Who are my ancestors? Wolves, right? And you should hear a wolf talk. Especially when they get into packs, a wolf can cuss like a drunken sailor! So it's in my DNA. But Mr. Dan said "NO, absolutely NOT." This book must remain appropriate for middle-schoolers and above, or for parents who want to read it to their kids. If you're a dog-lover, you must read this book. If you are, you've probably read a gazillion dog books, so why another one? Because I believe this is so much more than just a good dog book. I promise you'll laugh, cry, and hopefully learn something you didn't already know about us dogs and other humans. If you're a dog-hater, you also need to read this book. Why? Because we have an epidemic of dog-haters in this country, as the countless animal shelters can attest when they see the abuse and mistreatment of dogs entering their facilities every day. Maybe, if you give it a chance, you too could learn something and more readily accept the canine friends that dog-lovers love. If you're a Great Pyrenees owner, or you know of someone who's owned a Great Pyrenees, like parents, a son or daughter, or just good friends, I hope I've already hooked you by my picture on the cover. The Great Pyrenees is the greatest dog breed ever made by God. You'll want to read on as I'll explain why. And if I've totally ticked off all the Golden Retriever owners out there, hang with me. The Golden Retriever is the most popular dog breed in America, possibly in the whole world. And as a rescue dog, we're not totally sure I'm a pure-bred Great Pyrenees. I have a soft face like a Golden, so there may be some Golden Retriever in me. So take heart. I love my Golden friends too. If you're a human male, even though you don't show your emotions as much as your human female counterparts, I think you, too, can find some humor and much-needed tenderness in this book. If you're a human female, need I say more? Read on, and get your husband or boyfriend to read also. So, I think that about covers it. If you don't fit into any of the above categories, then you aren't a member of the human race and you can crawl back into your cave and I won't bother you again. Otherwise, read on. But most of all, enjoy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of a pup found in a sports field and then adopted to become part of a family of three dogs. It is Leo himself that tells the story of how he developed and the problems he came up against in his pack. In telling his story, Leo explains how bad behavior and habits are easily learned and how he did not always understand why they were not accepted. The story then takes on a new turn as Leo then recounts how he came to be included in the pack of a world-famous dog trainer and behaviorist known as the Dog Whisperer. From that moment onward, his life changed and his behavior began to be more acceptable. He also found his true vocation in life running, jumping, and playing ball. A game that he excelled and made him a star of posters and photographs all over the world. Leo explains throughout in simple terms how poor behavior is developed in dogs and gives his thoughts on how good behavior can be encouraged and taught in a way that dogs understand. Leo tells his story from his viewpoint to help dog owners and potential owners, and especially children/young people, how dogs think and learn.

Book excerpt: This is a story about a Great Pyrenees named Elsa and how she changed my life. I will detail how she went from an abandoned rescue dog at the animal refuge where I continue to volunteer, to my adopting her, bringing her to her forever home, and eventually becoming her therapy dog partner. I will also detail the work we do every week as a therapy dog team and stories about how she's touched and, occasionally, changed countless lives in our 20 months together as a therapy dog team. Many events occurred before we ever met which eventually led me to Elsa, so I'll start at the beginning, before I ever met Elsa. If you're a dog-lover, you must read this book. But if you are, you've probably read a gazillion dog books, so why another one? Because I believe this is so much more than just a good dog book. I promise you'll laugh, cry, and maybe even learn something you didn't already know. If you're a dog-hater, you also need to read this book. Why?

The Great Pyrenees is the greatest dog breed ever made by God. You'll want to read on as I'll explain why. And if I've totally pissed off all the Golden Retriever owners out there, hang with me. The Golden Retriever is the most popular dog breed in America, possibly in the whole world. And as Elsa is a rescue dog, we're not totally sure she's a pure-bred Great Pyrenees. She has a soft face like a Golden, so there may be some Golden Retriever in her. So take heart. I love Goldens too. If you're a Christian, you definitely want to read this book! It will be uplifting and a positive experience. I'm a Christian, and I'm not ashamed. I'm proud to call Jesus Christ my Lord and savior. And it's my faith that led me to write this book in the first place, so it is a very important part (maybe the most important part) of my story. If you're a non-Christian, or a Muslim, or Buddhist or Hindu, or practice no religion at all, you need to read this book. If you can open your mind to new ideas and just give it a chance, I promise not to try to convert you to Christianity, but to hopefully give you something positive to think about and chew on. If you're a man, even though we don't show our emotions as much as our female counterparts, I think you, too, can find some humor and much-needed tenderness in this book. If you're a woman, need I say more? Read on, and get your husband or boyfriend to read also. So, I think that about covers it. If you don't fit into any of the above categories, then you aren't a member of the human race and you can crawl back into your cave and I won't bother you again. Otherwise, read on.

Book excerpt: 'Inspiring and very moving. A hero on so many levels' Bear Grylls 'The astonishing journey ... and the service dog that helped him recover ... A tale that will inspire and amaze' Waterstones.com When special forces soldier Jason Morgan awoke from a months-long coma, he was told he'd never walk again. Discovered face-down in a Central American swamp after a jungle mission gone wrong, he had a smashed spine,collapsed lungs and countless broken bones. It was a miracle he'd even survived. Months of painful surgery followed, with Jason's life balanced on a knife-edge. Released from hospital in a wheelchair and plagued by memory loss, Jason's life fell apart. Left alone to raise his three infant sons, all hope seemed gone,until Jason met Napal, a handsome-as-hell black Labrador provided by a very special charity. With this one incredible dog at their side, Jason's life and that of his family would never be the same again. With Napal's help Jason was able to conquer his paralysis, eventually completing a marathon and winning numerous medals in the Wounded Warrior Games. More than that, this amazing service dog helped heal a family and taught Jason to be the father his kids needed him to be. A Dog Called Hope is the moving and heart-warming story of how Jason rediscovered his life's mission, his strength as a father and, through his beloved dog, his hope. It's the story of the closeness between one man and one dog like no other, and how this mesmerizing duo changed countless lives. Inspirational, tear-jerking and laugh-out-loud uplifting, this is a story that will brighten any day and warm every heart.

Book excerpt: 'This is a book for anyone who has ever thought they didn't quite fit in' -- Beverley Cuddy, Dogs Today 'An uplifting and inspirational story about how one life-changing bond saved two souls' -- Happiful mag 'An astonishing book: by turns emotional, funny, eye-opening' -- Ann Green, Chief reporter, Psychic News Magazine Incredible Kratu tells the story of the lovable rascal from Crufts who became the peoples' champion worldwide and, in so doing, healed his owner's heart. A solitary child who only really found solace in nature, Tess Eagle Swan ran away from home aged sixteen and, by her late twenties, had already survived violence and drug addiction. In the following decade, life spiralled further out of control. Something had to change. Tess had always loved animals, so when she saw a post on Facebook about the plight of two dogs in Romania, she was moved to take action, helping find homes for both. It was the first step on the road that led her to Kratu - the Carpathian/Mioritic Shepherd cross she adopted in 2014. From his humble beginnings on a Roma camp in Transylvania, Kratu has gone on to become a canine international treasure. Now a trained assistance and therapy dog, he has brought joy to millions with his lovable antics - not least with his legendary appearances at Crufts. But the role he has played in Tess's story is more compelling still. After a lifetime of distress, Tess and Kratu's bond allowed Tess to finally learn to love herself and answer some of the questions behind her troubled beginnings. Incredible Kratu is the inspirational true story of this unlikely pair, who found in each other the love and support they needed to beat the odds and turn both their lives around.

Book excerpt: In 2006, Dave and Christie Nasser welcomed a Great Dane puppy into their lives - the runt of a litter of thirteen who won over the hearts of his new owners with his soulful blue eyes. They named him George and he swiftly changed their lives. In February 2010 George was officially crowned tallest dog ever by the Guinness Book of World Records. Standing at almost five feet tall and seven feet long, George has come to dominate the Nassers' home. He has grown from a quivering misfit into a goofy giant - eager to play with everyone and boisterous to the point of causing chaos. Yet George is a big softie - a gentle giant frightened of water, of dogs a fraction of his size, and of being left alone. This is the full heart-warming story of Dave and Christie's life with George - his likes and dislikes, his diet, habits and quirks. It's also the story of their love for each other, of their struggle to start a family and of how they've had to adapt their home to accommodate their extraordinary pet. With appearances on Oprah, and George gaining worldwide attention, it's now time to tell the full story of what it's like to be the owners of the biggest dog in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob was an average-looking collie puppy in every way, except for his bobbed tail . . . and maybe that’s why the Brazier family named him Bob, or Bobbie. But he was average in no other way. In 1923, Bobbie joined Frank and Elizabeth Brazier for a cross-country drive from Silverton, Oregon, to Indiana, Frank’s home state, where they planned to visit family. During a stop in Indiana, Bobbie was chased off by loose dogs, and after a week of searching and placing newspaper ads, the broken-hearted Braziers had to give up and start the drive home. Six months to the day after he was lost in Indiana, a very thin Bobbie was spotted on a Silverton sidewalk, his coat matted, his paws raw from wear. Unbelievable as it seemed, the three-year-old dog had WALKED almost 2,800 miles to get back home. Though weak and tired, Bobbie went berserk with joy when he was reunited with his family, and from that day, all of their lives changed. In the weeks and months that followed, his story tore across the country in newspapers and even in a hardcover collection of pet stories. He was the main attraction at an Oregon home-builders convention in Portland, where thousands lined up to pet him, and he starred in a short feature film. Also, the Braziers eventually heard from people along Bobbie's homeward-bound route, places where he’d stopped long enough to recoup, and then he was gone again. These stories verified their thinking. Bobbie had done the impossible. When Bobbie died, he was buried in Portland, Oregon, by the Oregon Humane Society. Rin Tin-Tin was there to lay a wreath at his funeral, which was officiated by the mayor of Portland. This incredible story is all true, and the origins of Lassie Come Home are said to be traced to the story of Bob of Silverton, also known as Bobbie, the Wonder Dog, a Scotch collie mix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a bitterly cold night in January 2012, Haatchi the dog was hit over the head, and abandoned on a railway line to be hit by a train. The driver saw the adorable five-month old Anatolian Shepherd moments too late. Somehow, the terrified puppy survived the blood loss from his partially severed leg and tail and managed to crawl away to safety. Fortunately, Haatchi was rescued, although vets couldn’t save his leg and tail. A Facebook appeal brought him to the attention of a couple of kind-hearted dog lovers, Colleen Drummond and Will Howkins, who are also the dad and stepmum of Owen (known to his family as Little B for 'little buddy'). One look at Haatchi’s expressive face told them all they needed to know and the lucky dog moved into the Howkins’ family home just six weeks after almost being killed. Owen, now aged eight, has a rare genetic disorder which causes his muscles to tense permanently. Largely confined to a wheelchair, he was withdrawn and anxious and found it difficult to make friends. But when Owen awoke the morning after Haatchi arrived he immediately fell in love with the severely disabled rescue animal who would, in turn, rescue him. This book tells their inspiring true story - one astonishing little boy and the very special dog who has changed his life forever.

Book excerpt: Perhaps with him I am a dog What was Kevin? He was earnest yet playful, boisterous yet lazy, a little rough sometimes, extremely direct and always sure of what he wanted. He was also sensitive, kind, supportive and caring, not to mention highly communicative and supremely understanding towards children. My Life as a Dog is the funny, heartwarming and moving story of a life shared between a black and tan dachshund and his owner. Told over two days and a weekend drawn from their many years together, it explores how Kevin overcame his cruel upbringing to flower into a self-confident dog that left everyone he met spellbound. And as they grew together, his owner learned to live in the present and navigate the difficult times they faced together. But with Kevin rejected by the canine world and their connection ever-more profound and symbiotic, the question was: What does he think I am? L. A. Davenport is author of the novel The Nucleus of Reality, or the Recollections of Thomas P-, the thriller Escape, and the short story collections No Way Home and Dear Lucifer and Other Stories.
