Livestock Protection Dogs: Selection, Care, and Training

Ruby is a certified service dog. She is a veteran of stage plays, appeared in newspapers around the world, and worked at a radio station as a co-host–her occasional snoring bemusing guests and listeners alike.

Meet the fascinating people, celebrities, and dogs Ruby has worked with, lived with, and helped along the way. Wait for help with Ruby and her family in the blistering South Dakota sun when the motor home broke down, only to wish they hadn’t been rescued when the tow truck operators turned out to look like the cannibal woodsmen from the movie Wrong Turn. Ruby was flown to Hollywood to appear on The Bonnie Hunt Show. (Bonnie loved Ruby!) Then it was off to Chicago.

Again it was a driver, a limo and a four star hotel . . . not bad for a little dog nobody wanted and left to die. But Ruby found that all that glitters was not always gold in corporate America, and then, cancer came a calling. Once again, with the help from a mysterious angel, Ruby rallied her indomitable spirit to survive.

Ruby’s story is multifaceted. There is fun, gritty drama, high emotion, excitement, anger, laughter and betrayal. It is a living, breathing story that will leave adoptive pet parents cheering.

Ruby’s Tale: A True Rags to Riches Story

Who hasn’t put words into their mutt’s mouth? From “yes, the chicken-flavored treats are my favorite,” to “no, I’m not quite ready for my bath,” all dog devotees are guilty as charged–although not all do it in such a hilarious and endearing manner as writer Roy Blount Jr. and photographer Valerie Shaff in If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You: True Portraits of Dogs.

Blount, humorist and author of Be Sweet, brings us closer to “understanding the ‘inner dog’” through his use of Doggerel, a uniquely Blount brand of verse with the “canine measure somewhere between ordered and free.” The effect of this puppy poetry–when paired with Shaff’s truly remarkable duotone photographs of mixed and pure breeds–is comic genius.

A Boxer coyly stares into the camera wondering, “What does that mean, ‘expensive shoe’? / I ate it because it smelled like you,” while a chubby-tummied bulldog declares “Good stick. / Got a good stick. / A real / good / Stick. / Getting all the good / Out of this good / Stick / That’s in / This / good / Stick.” You’ll never be able to resist this entertaining and affectionate look at our canine friends as “they ponder the confusions, certainties, pangs, and pleasures of a dog’s life.”

Siberian Huskies for Dummies

As he guides readers through the surprising depth of canine emotional complexity, Jeffrey Masson draws from myth and literature, from scientific studies, and from the stories and observations of dog trainers and dog lovers around the world.

But the stars of the book are the author’s own three dogs whose delightful and mysterious behavior provides the way to exploring a wide range of subjects–from emotions like gratitude, compassion, loneliness, and disappointment to speculating what dogs dream of and how their powerful sense of smell shapes their perception of reality.

As he sweeps aside old prejudices on animal behavior, Masson reaches into a rich universe of dog feeling to its essential core, their “master emotion”: love.

Like the dogs he loves, Masson’s writing will capture the reader with its playful, mysterious, and serious sides. Its surprising insights provide a new dimension of understanding for dog owners everywhere.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson was, oddly enough, pet-free when he decided to write about their key role in his life. Not to worry, though. In a trice he acquired a troika of pups (a purebred and two mongrels) and a couple of kittens. (The pussycats, alas, play only cameo roles.)

In Dogs Never Lie About Love, Masson finds plenty of new things to say about canines–not that there hasn’t been a plenitude of pupper reportage in the ’90s. Or at least he easily articulates what some of us might already think: “Dogs feel more than I do (I am not prepared to speak for other people),” Masson asserts.

“They feel more, and they feel more purely and more intensely.” Often, however, he seems to be writing less about animals than humans: “In searching for why we are so inhibited compared with dogs, perhaps we can learn to be as direct, as honest, as straightforward, and especially as intense in our feelings as dogs are.

” But this book is not just a cozy mix of navel gazing (bestial and human) and long, leash-filled walks. Masson offers several proofs that dogs do take the high moral road–one police pooch, for instance, refused to acknowledge his handler’s attack command. A good thing, too, since Masson himself would have been the victim! In more ways than one, Dogs Never Lie About Love is a Milk-Bone masterpiece.–Kerry Fried

Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man’s constant companion.
