Review & Description

Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann -- a Boy and His Two Dogs...

A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains -- and Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. And close by was the strange and wonderful power that's only found...

An exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget. Author Wilson Rawls spent his boyhood much like the character of this book, Billy Colman, roaming the Ozarks of northeastern Oklahoma with his bluetick hound. A straightforward, shoot-from-the-hip storyteller with a searingly honest voice, Rawls is well-loved for this powerful 1961 classic and the award-winning novel Summer of the Monkeys. In Where the Red Fern Grows, Billy and his precious coonhound pups romp relentlessly through the Ozarks, trying to "tree" the elusive raccoon. In time, the inseparable trio wins the coveted gold cup in the annual coon-hunt contest, captures the wily ghost coon, and bravely fights with a mountain lion. When the victory over the mountain lion turns to tragedy, Billy grieves, but learns the beautiful old Native American legend of the sacred red fern that grows over the graves of his dogs. This unforgettable classic belongs on every child's bookshelf. (Ages 9 and up) Read more

Five Easy Pieces (Kindle Edition)

Five Easy Pieces
Five Easy Pieces (Kindle Edition)
By Rebecca Stroud

Review & Description

From Gabriel to King to Rocky.....from Maggie to Max, these short stories bring to life the trials and tribulations of five dogs and the people who loved them. In a world where such outcomes are few and far between, all are tales of devotion and salvation.

[NOTE TO READERS: If you've already purchased A Three-Dog Night and/or Two For The Road, don't buy this book as I've merged those stories into Five Easy Pieces.]

EXCERPT (from Priorities):

While King waited by the door, Marcy quickly changed in a public restroom, leaving the clothes she'd worn for seven days like a tired uniform piled neatly on the dirty toilet.

One block south, with the scent of salt water hanging heavy in the heat, Marcy sold her engagement ring to the highest - and only - bidder. Two-hundred bucks plus an extra fifty in what she knew must've been pity for the blind girl.

And as the clock struck a hot and high noon, she trudged towards the coolness of the casino with her devoted dog and her pathetic plan.

"God help us, King, if this doesn't work," Marcy murmured to her silent partner.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Prior to her writing career, Rebecca Stroud was an animal hospital employee, SPCA employee, and a wildlife sanctuary volunteer. She has also been politically active regarding a variety of animal issues for over 30 years.

However, as a former newspaper journalist, she also pens suspense/thrillers. Yet, ala Dean Koontz, there will always be a dog involved. Read more

Discover the Secrets to Taming and Training Wild Horses (Kindle Edition)

Discover the Secrets to Taming and Training Wild Horses
Discover the Secrets to Taming and Training Wild Horses (Kindle Edition)
By Partha Sarkhel

Review & Description

Discover the Secrets to Taming and Training Wild Horses!
Now you can use a practical, step-by-step guide to taming and training wild horses.Guaranteed!

Have you ever admired beautiful, wild horses? Have you ever wished that you could train and tame them?

Without the right tools and information, it could take you years and cost you a small fortune to learn the secrets and techniques to successfully taming and training wild horses. Instead of spending a fortune on so-called experts or knocking yourself out with the old trial and error method, there is an easier way to learn how to tame and train wild horses.

Now there’s good news ....

I won’t deny that there are a ton of books out there on horse training. Unfortunately the problem with most books on the subject of taming and training wild horses is that they are either filled with plenty of promises and no solid techniques and strategies to back up those promises or they contain only one or two pieces of useful information and not a comprehensive look at everything you need to know to succeed in all areas of taming and training wild horses.

A Guide to Taming and Training Wild Horses breaks the mold of all the other hunting books and manuals you have heard and read about. It presents solid, proven steps to help you learn how to successfully tame and train wild horses!

Sounds too good to be true?

It’s not and I can prove it with The Art of Taming and Training Wild Horses.

But, first a word of introduction.

My name is _______. A few years ago I found myself in a situation not too different from your own. I have always had an interest in wild horses. Usually; however, I met with dismal failure when I attempted to train them.

I didn’t understand what I was doing wrong. I had spent a ton of money on taming and training wild horses technique books and even a few private lessons but it didn’t seem to make a difference. I desperately wanted to improve my technique but didn’t have a clue where to start.

None of the books I had read on taming and training wild horses had been able to solve my problem. Some of them were so mired down in fancy words and technicalities that it was a miracle I ever got past the first chapter! Others might have passed on a helpful hint or two, but did not solve my problems. The process of sorting through various taming and training wild horses books was frustrating and time-consuming. One night I commented to my wife that what I really needed was a comprehensive guide on everything to do with taming and training wild horses

That’s when it hit me!

The Art of Taming and Training Wild Horses!

If I couldn’t find a comprehensive guide on taming and training wild horses, then why not create my own? I was tired of flipping back and forth through tons of books for the few bits of information that could help me; but I reasoned that if I put all those little tidbits of info together then I might actually be able to begin understanding the secrets to taming and training wild horses.

The next morning I furiously began to read through all of the taming and training wild horses books that I had purchased over the past few years and take down the pertinent notes. I didn’t stop there either. I swallowed my pride and enlisted the help of a few experts who were accomplished in taming and training wild horses

It took awhile to sort through all of the information I had gathered and compile the notes I received from the experts I consulted, but when I was finished I sat back and was completely stunned.

Right here in front of me was the information that I had been seeking all along!

From the notes I had taken from several articles on the subject of taming and training wild horses, as well as my own experiments, I had comprised a comprehensive compendium on taming and training wild horses.

“I sat back in stunned amazement!”

It was all there!

Pacifist Chicken and Other Largely Humorous Stories of Small Hopes
Pacifist Chicken and Other Largely Humorous Stories of Small Hopes (Paperback)
By Andrea Kampic

Review & Description

Not all short story collections need to be gloomy, stuffy required reading. Some can be funny, irreverent and memorable, with a few serious ditties thrown in so as not to appear rakish or shallow. Pacifist Chicken is one of the latter collections. These stories do not try to make you think; they ask politely. Stories that you can relate to but still surprise and intrigue. Stories you can read before falling asleep that are unlikely to give you nightmares (Disclaimer: there are no guarantees as a few are somewhat ... unsettling). Go ahead, take a chance, these tales just might stick to your ribs like a good hearty home-cooked meal. Read more

Review & Description

Comedian and talk-show host Joy Behar has teamed up with illustrator Gene Barretta to create a feisty, lovable character in this cheerful, funny picture book. When Max the mixed-breed meets a pack of snobby purebred dogs in the dog run, he can’t understand why they don’t want to play with him and his mongrel friends. Determined to get everyone to play together, brainy Max—who is part poodle, after all—comes up with a way to break the ice between the mixed-breeds and the purebreds. America’s current obsession with designer dogs makes this book as timely as it is lively. Read more

Meet Charlie.

He's a ranch dog. Breakfast is his life, especially when bacon is involved. Charlie has dangly ears, floppy skin, and big fat paws. And he loves living in the country. That's because he works like a dog...fixing fences, gardening, and helping his family out on the range.

Yep, it's all work, all the time for Charlie the ranch dog. In fact, he's probably working right now...

Zzzzzzz....

A ranch dog's work is never done!

Come along as Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, introduces us to her beloved short-legged pioneer dog named Charlie.

Review & Description

Stick Dog and his four friends - Stripes, Mutt, Poo-Poo and Karen - will do anything to steal some sweet-smelling hamburgers from a family at Picasso Park. Their plans to do so are both devious and wacky. Illustrated with bold pastels, this story breaks the conventions of the traditional picture book: The narrative is conversational, the illustrations are loud and accessible and the story is longer (about 6,000 words) and aimed at slightly older readers of seven and up. Parents who read aloud will enjoy the story - and the laughs. Priced low so more people can discover Stick Dog and his buddies. Read more
