Book excerpt: "This book tells the amazing true story of one astonishing little boy and the very special dog who has changed his life forever. On a bitterly cold night in January 2012, Haatchi the dog was hit over the head and abandoned on a railway line in London, England, to be hit by a train. Somehow, the puppy survived the blood loss from his partially severed leg and rear tail and managed to crawl away to safety. Fortunately, Haatchi was rescued, although vets couldn't save his leg and tail. He came to the attention of Colleen Drummond and Will Howkins, who aren't just kind-hearted dog-lovers. They are also the dad and stepmother of Owen (known to his family as Little B for 'little buddy'). Owen, now aged eight, has an extremely rare genetic disorder which causes his muscles to permanently tense. Largely confined to a wheelchair, Owen was withdrawn and anxious and found it difficult to make friends. But when the little boy awoke the morning after Haatchi arrived, he immediately fell in love with the severely disabled rescue animal who would, in turn, rescue him"--

Book Synopsis Medical, Genetic & Behavioral Risk Factors of Anatolian Shepherds Dogs by : Ross D. Clark, DVM
Download or read book Medical, Genetic & Behavioral Risk Factors of Anatolian Shepherds Dogs written by Ross D. Clark, DVM and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (Anatolian Shepherd Dog) provides you with a through description and positive attributes of this breed including origin, purpose, history, normal heights and weights, acceptable colors and behavioral traits. Our books differ from most books on dog breeds because this book also provides you with a comprehensive and authoritative source of all the known predisposed hereditary health syndromes for the breed. You will find extensive references for each problem described. We also provide the breed club address for this breed and a list of laboratories and organizations that can provide professional help and information. As a small animal veterinarian, I have always been intrigued by the way dogs have been bred to fill a purpose in life and further impressed that they also tend to love performing that service. Greyhounds and other sight hounds are built for speed with aerodynamic bodies consisting of small head, deep chest, narrow waist and large leg muscles. On the other hand Dachshunds take their name from German words meaning “badger dog” and they use their long nose, long body and short legs to both track, enter and dig into badger dens. After developing a practice that catered to clients with show dogs, my interest in each breed continued to grow as I studied and observed more and more about the unique predisposition and incidence of health problems in each breed. Breeders of purebred dogs for show were a challenge and inspirational for me to research and help them with their unique health problems. Historically references to hereditary problems are scattered throughout various Veterinary medical texts and journals such as ophthalmology, neurology, gastroenterology, cardiovascular and dermatology. This book, as well as the other books and articles I have written, is researched and compiled with the intention to provide both veterinarians and dog owners with comprehensive and authoritative predisposition information under the breed name. At the date of this publication, The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation and the The Kennel Club of England reports over 400 known hereditary health syndromes throughout the dog kingdom. At the writing of my first book in 1983, less than 50 hereditary issues are able to be predicted and or diagnosed. Sequencing of the canine genome, DNA tests, metabolic testing including blood tests and urine testing; plus, phenotypic examinations such as radiographs, ultrasound, and CERF or OFA eye registry exams by a Board Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist have advanced the science of breed related health and behavioral problems. This book will provide veterinarians, researchers, pet owners and breeders with a comprehensive guide to all the known problems veterinarians and dog owners should consider during pet selection and throughout each life stage of our canine friends.

Book Synopsis The Sheep Dogs of Anatolia by : Guvener Isik
Download or read book The Sheep Dogs of Anatolia written by Guvener Isik and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sheep Dogs of Anatolia, Yörük Koyçs, is not intended to be a guide or instruction manual, and the material in the book is presented by integration into stories and the author's personal observations. The author has worked on this book since 1997. Although the focus is the Anatolians, the information provided here is applicable to all Large Guardian Dogs, such as Great Pyrenees, Kuvasz, Alabai, and Ovtcharka. The reader is not forced to accept rules and laws dictated by the author or any club. On the contrary he is encouraged to mold his own methods based on the practices in the rural Anatolia. Rights and wrongs in sheep dog raising are not confined to rules; rather they reside in understanding the mindset of the shepherds, the nature of the flocks, and the dogs, which are summarized in principals. The main source of information in this book is from the authentic shepherds instead of white collar data collectors and the sedentary farmers. No ready- to -swallow pills are provided in order to successfully live with sheep dogs and to benefit from them. Once the reader understands the aboriginal conditions of the sheep dogs, only then can she start seeing where they are coming from and why these primitive dogs act in certain ways. The book helps the reader to understand the source, which allows a smoother journey to the destination.The first half of the book provides general information on the sheep dogs in Anatolia in terms of historical background, descriptions, various strains of dogs, traditional selection, conditioning, feeding, numerous practices, fundamental characteristics, and determining standards of Anatolian sheep dogs in relation to the requirements set by the shepherds. The second part of the book is mostly discussions about the common misunderstandings related to the sheep dogs, such as breed descriptions, training problems, and the concept of primitive breeding. The approach to tackle these issues is radically unconventional, which challenges the show mentality which consists of pedigree based breeding and artificial selection criteria, as well as other practices related to conformation showing. The author also looks at the dog-wolf interaction in terms of flock guarding. The format of the book allows the reader to pick up any chapter from the second part, independent from the first part, and read without having to have read the preceding chapters or accordingly, choose to be done at the end of the first part of the book. In other words, one can feel free to stop reading at the end of Part I if he is not interested in the philosophy behind pastoral sheep dogs. The second half of the book follows with 63 pages of original photographs from the author's private collection and is composed of 119 dog photos from all corners of rural Anatolia.
Book Synopsis Dog's Best Friend by : Simon Garfield
Download or read book Dog's Best Friend written by Simon Garfield and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating, informative and highly entertaining expedition through the highways and byways of dogdom.” —John Bradshaw, New York Times bestselling author of Dog Sense A charming meditation on the relationship between humans and dogs, drawing upon history, science, art, and personal experience to illuminate a magical bond that has endured millennia—from the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. “Ludo is now an elderly gentleman, and we would do almost anything to ensure his continued happiness. We schedule our days around his needs—his mealtimes, his walks, the delivery of his life-saving medication (he has epilepsy, poor love). We spend a bizarrely large amount of our disposable income on him, and he never sends a card of thanks. When he’s not with us for a few days, the house feels extraordinarily empty. I feel so fortunate to know him.” Ludo is a dog—Simon Garfield’s beloved black Labrador retriever, one of millions of canines who have become integral parts of our lives. But how did the dog become top dog? How did these faithful animals come to assist us not only in hunting, but in bomb disposal and cancer detection—and ultimately become our closest companions? Dog’s Best Friend examines how this bond developed over the centuries, and how it has transformed countless lives, both human and canine. Garfield begins with the earliest visual representations—dogs depicted in ancient rock art—and ends at the laboratory that first sequenced the canine genome. Along the way, we meet the legendary Corgis of Buckingham Palace, the dogs of the Soviet space program, the world’s first labradoodle, and a border collie that can identify more than a thousand different plush toys. Garfield reveals the secrets of the world’s best dog trainers, takes us inside the wild world of dog breeding and dog shows, and unearths the deep psychological roots of the human-dog link. And Ludo pops his snout in from time to time as well. A celebration of this deep interspecies connection, delivered with Simon Garfield’s inimitable wit, Dog’s Best Friend offers delights and insights for anyone who has ever loved a dog.
