Barney


Book Description

The Geratest Barney Moments, as told by his faithful human sidekick -- a tale destined to make dog lovers laugh, cry, and howl at the moon. Racing out the door one very cold morning, TV reporter Dick Wolfsie nearly tripped over a tiny beagle on his front step. In his haste, he welcomed the little stray into the house and rushed off to work. Eight hours later, Dick returned to a shredded couch, a well-gnawed pair of heels, mangled curtains and a damp rug. Dick's wife issued an ultimatum: "The dog must go. Either that, or you have to take him to work with you." From this humble beginning, a star was born. Barney the Beagle's career in the public eye included 3,000 shows, 14 commercials, and 12 straight years on the air. Restaurants named drinks and sandwiches after him, and the local boarding kennel christened a suite in his name. He even had his own late-night movie review show and a line of Barney boxer shorts. Barney was also a canine goodwill ambassador, wagging his way through hospitals, retirement homes and schools. After Barney died, over 1,700 e-mails and letters poured in, a reflection of sympathy as well as the connection this little canine made with people everywhere. If you followed Barney's antics over the years, you'll relish your favorite Barney stories here, plus more than a few surprises. If you missed Barney on TV, here's your chance to meet an unforgettable beagle who had heart, brains, and moxie to spare. Book jacket.

The Other End of the Leash


Book Description

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
