In 2015, Cara Achterberg’s Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes, which rescues dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south and shuttles them north to foster homes. Nine puppies arrived with less than a day’s notice; a heart-worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep. The stories of these remarkable dogs—including an eighty-pound bloodhound who sang arias for the neighbors—and the joy they bring to Cara and her family (along with a few chewed sofa cushions) fill the pages of this touching and inspiring book.When asked how she can possibly say goodbye to that many lovable pups, Cara says, “If I don’t give this one away, I can’t possibly save another.” Filled with humanity and hope, Another Good Dog will take the reader on a journey of smiles, laughs, and tears—and lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are out there and what we can do to help.

From Sofi Oksanen, the internationally bestselling author of Purge, comes a captivating story about a woman unable to escape the memory of her lost child, the ruthless powers that still haunt her, and the lies that could well end up saving her. Helsinki, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench, watching a family play in a dog park. A stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles; she would recognize this other woman anywhere. After all, Olenka was the one who ruined her life. And this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet, for a fragile moment, here they are, together — looking at their own children being raised by other people. Moving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and Ukraine in the early days of its post-Soviet independence, Dog Park is a keenly observed, dark, and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West, centered on a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body.

Dog Park etiquette, the do's and don'ts for dog park survival. Dog parks are a big thing now and a great place to meet other dog lovers. It is also a great place to socialize your dog, but you need to realize that when it comes to a person's pet, that person can be very protective and sensitive about how their dog is treated by anyone else. This is where you will see people go from crazy to crazier in a heartbeat. If something is said in the wrong way, or misconstrued, tempers will flare and words will fly. I believe that if everyone follows this guide and respects one another, they can have a great time at the dog park. I have been taking my dog Max to the dog park since he was 6 months old, he is now 12_ years, and it is still his happy place. He still gets excited to go. Dogs love to socialize and meet their own kind, and they enjoy it more if their owner is relaxed, having a good time, and more involved with them. When you're at the dog park, this is their special time to spend with you.

Using humor and her own observations, the author traces her acquisition of Buster, a junkyard rescue, whose high energy leads her to the dog park. The author recounts their adventures and illustrates what happens there. Instinctive dog behaviors, prejudices, dog walkers, aggression and more are covered.The following explains why I felt I had to write this book. I was literally bombarded with incidents from going to the dog park on a daily basis for three and a half years; in fact, I still go.One could ask why read a book about the dog park? Surely, those two words say it all. Let's just go to the dog park, have fun and go home. But, one needs to realize that you are exposing yourself and your dog/s to the dangers of unpredictable animal and human behavior. People forget that at the dog park common sense flies out of the window. The dogs are thrust into an enclosed area with strange dogs and people and, who knows what will happen?Not all dogs are sociable and each one has its own distinct personality traits. They can be timid, aggressive, laid back or high-energy. It is far better to go to the dog park with some idea of what to expect as it can be a very enjoyable experience or a downright scary one.
