Download or read book Wonderdog written by Inman Majors and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-11-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Wonderdog, Inman Majors brings us the unlikely Dev Degraw, son of the iconoclastic governor of the state and former child actor on the historically bad television drama "Bayou Dog." Dev inhabits Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama, ferocious wiener dogs, butter-eating contests, jackleg lawyers, and one-eyed stalkers. It's in this funky Southern milieu that Dev moves among the denizens of Tuscaloosa's local watering holes, the political bigwigs of the state capital, and the sundry elements of B-movie Hollywood. As the story unfolds, Dev is trying his underachieving best to stay out of his father's heated bid for re-election, as well as a co-star's incomprehensible plans to organize a "Bayou Dog" cast reunion. Fortunately for the reader, his efforts to remain uninvolved in the political fray and as far away as possible from his TV alter ego are foiled by one comic entanglement after another: star-crossed love affairs, a halfhearted legal practice, and an ex-wife dating a male cheerleader. As he tries to rectify past glories with more recent foibles, we come to know the Dev who, knowingly or unknowingly, gets thrust upon a career path that will at last begin to define him. The result is a tour de force of American revelry. Written with verbal energy, lyricism, and a knife-sharp eye for comedic detail, Wonderdog is a hilarious Dr. Frankenstein concoction of Henry the IV, Kingsley Amis, and John Kennedy Toole. But Inman Majors has created a comedy all his own, one that springs from a love of human speech and compassion for the minor geniuses in the dusty corners of life. Here, with Wonderdog, Majors sets out to examine the comic vagaries of the human condition. What he ends up with is a wholly original work of fiction, breathing new life into the Southern comedy along the way.

Book Synopsis Bobbie the Wonder Dog: A True Story by : Tricia Brown
Download or read book Bobbie the Wonder Dog: A True Story written by Tricia Brown and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 32 pages. 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.

Download or read book Wonderdog written by Jules Howard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of dogs, the scientists who've lived alongside them, and how canines have been key to advancements in science for the betterment of all species. Almost everywhere there are humans on planet Earth, there are dogs. But what do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own? Do they love like we do? What do they think of us? Since our alliance first began on the hunt and on the farm, our relationship with dogs has evolved considerably. And with domestic dog population rising twenty per cent in the last decade alone, it is a bond that will continue to evolve. In order to gauge where our relationship with dogs goes from here, author and zoologist Jules Howard takes a look at the historical paths we have trod together, and at the many scientists before him who turned their analytic eye on their own four-legged companions. Charles Darwin and his contemporaries toyed with dog sign language and made special puzzle boxes and elaborate sniff tests using old socks. Later, the same questions drove Pavlov and Pasteur to unspeakable cruelty in their search for knowledge. Since then, leagues of psychologists and animal behaviourists have built upon the study of dogs and their much-improved methods have fetched increasingly important results: dogs have episodic memory similar to ours; they recognise themselves as individuals; and, in addition to their expert sense of smell, dogs’ noses can even detect thermal radiation. With the help of vets, ethologists, neurologists, historians and, naturally, his own dogs, Wonderdog reveals the study of dogs to be key in the advancement of compassion in scientific research, and crucial to making life on Earth better for all species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Guh the Wonderdog : Guh Meets His Family by Brittney Hall Based on author Brittney Hall’s family dog George, The Adventures of Guh the Wonderdog is a heartwarming series of love, friendship and laughter. In Guh Meets His Family, readers are first introduced to Guh, and the story how he got his name as well as his forever home. Hall’s dog George is an English Shepherd, a breed that is not recognized by the Kennel Club and very few people are aware of this type. They make great family dogs; as natural protectors and herders of livestock, they are able to transfer this sense of duty and love to their families. Hall and her family has always joked that George is a wonderdog and the fun police. It is as though he thinks he is helping in situations, but actually makes them worse, as many of us humans do. Hall wants the children reading this to laugh with Guh, and be able to relate to the child in the story. She also hopes that adults will enjoy reading it to their kids, and that the book will create enough intrigue as to what adventures and misadventures Guh will get into next.

THE SEATTLE TIMES "Irreverent, hilarious, reportorial...Majors does it all." KNOXVILLE NEWS SENTINEL "Majors scores big points with his cast of friendly eccentrics, zingy dialogue and a plot that wanders across the Southern landscape like a crazed raccoon chased by a pack of dogs with tin cans tied to their tails." THE ATLANTA-JOURNAL CONSTITUTION "Well, it's about time. After so many dust jackets heralding the arrival of yet another..."gritty" Southern writer, there's finally, finally, a true, honest-to-God new voice on the scene." NASHVILLE SCENE "High marks for humor and originality." INSIDE BAY AREA "If (Barry) Hannah is Southern Fiction's Howlin' Wolf, then Majors may well prove to be its B.B. King...Quick-witted and irreverent." PLANET WEEKLY "Wonderdog reads as if narrated by the ne'er-do-well, incorrigible, and brilliant wastrel cousin of Walker Percy's Binx Bolling. This book's a hell of a read." BRAD WATSON "Wonderdog reads like Charles Portis cross-pollinated with Barry Hannah." WILLIAM GAY
