the power of love. I found myself captivated by the world of this book.
It will make you remember, rethink, and rejoice in every meaningful
relationship you’ve ever had. Everyone needs to read this book!”
Garth Stein - The Art of Racing in the Rain
"Marley and Me" by John Grogan
“A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes.
Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just
fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by
who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor,
educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will
give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much
wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what
really counts and what does not. As I wrote that farewell column to
Marley, I realized it was all right there in front of us, if only we
opened our eyes. Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners,
and pure intentions to help us see.”
― John Grogan
"Inside Of A Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz
Cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz gives us a glimpse inside the mind of man’s best friend.
"Oogy" by Larry Levin
There
was something about Oogy that made him special. Perhaps it was the
missing ear, or the asymmetrical face, or the hapless look of a rescued
pup who not long before had been used as bait for pit bull warriors.
Whatever the qualities, it convinced Larry Levin and his twin sons to
adopt this hapless, ugly pooch and make him part of their household. A
heart-tugging saga for anyone who can't resist the plaintive, upturned
eyes. A word of mouth bestseller now in a paperback edition that
contains a new afterword.
