In this companion to her acclaimed 2005 novel, A Dog's Life, Ann M. Martin tells the parallel stories of a stray dog (the brother of the dog featured in A Dog's Life), a boy dealing with unspeakable loss, and a boy whose most ardent wish is to own a dog—and everything for a dog. Bone and his sister, Squirrel, are stray dogs born in a shed. Left motherless as puppies, the two dogs survive together for a while, but are soon wrenched apart. Bone doesn't know if his sister is still alive, and must now go on, alone. Charlie is a boy who has suffered a terrible loss. And, as he's healing with the help of his dog, another tragedy occurs. Henry's best friend has moved away. All Henry has wanted is a dog of his own. But his parents won't let him. Bone, Charlie, and Henry live very different lives, but they are fated to intersect in surprising ways. Award-winning author Ann M. Martin has written a powerful, heartfelt novel that's perfect for anyone who has ever longed for a dog, or loved one.

See Spot Live Longer combines the most recent nutritional science with easy-to-follow practical advice on how to help dogs live longer. Part One introduces the reader to a few of the many dogs and cats the authors have known whose lives have been transformed by fresh food diets. Part Two compares the radical difference between the natural diet of dogs, which includes a variety of high-protein raw foods, and the modern diet, which usually includes only high-carbohydrate, highly processed dry food. The authors discuss in detail the macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate, fat, water) and micronutrient (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes) content of these diets, as well as the reasons that dogs can thrive on carrion and other high bacteria content foods. Part Three discusses the inevitable toxins and allergens in dry foods, especially those that use low quality grains, and how these substances may be major contributors to the cancer and allergy epidemic in dogs. Part Four shows the reader how easy it is to immediately help dogs live longer. The main emphasis is on how to improve the dog's diet, even using foods that would normally be thrown away. Also discussed are: avoidance of toxins (especially those close to the ground toxins that humans often don't see); the importance of proper exercise; and keeping dogs lean. The appendices provide detailed information about dry dog food recipes and costs, give advice on how to select dry food, discuss the question of missing hybrid vigor (and Steve's Charlee Bear? dogs), and explore possible origins of health problems.

An animal behavior expert “combines sensible information with charming wit [in] an entertaining guide for new and veteran dog owners” (Ken Foster, author of The Dogs Who Found Me). What do dogs value? Why do they get so excited by their daily walks? And why do canines of different breeds have different needs? Veterinarian and professor of animal behavior Dr. Paul McGreevy answers these questions and many more, explaining what life is like from a pooch’s perspective—including a special section about dogs and city living. Filled with humor and memorable characters (including “Uncle Wolf” and “Feral Cheryl”), this guide offers: Insights from recent studies on how dogs see, smell, and experience the world Explanations of canine behavior, accompanied with over forty action photos Tips on everything from petting them to calming them at the vet’s User-friendly training techniques that build skills gradually and keep your pet motivated Dr. McGreevy offers an exciting new approach to training a dog: By acting as a “life coach”—rather than an “alpha dog” or “parent”—and by looking at the process as a fun opportunity for you and your pet to grow closer and learn new skills, you can greatly improve your dog’s quality of life, and teach good behavior at the same time. “Science, experience, and common sense . . .Your dog will want you to read it.” —Mark Evans, chief veterinary adviser, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
