Dogs seem to be happy all the time, with no worries, no cares, living every day to the fullest. How do they do this? In this moving and uplifting work, W. R. Pursche examines how dogs live and translates their way of life into lessons for us to live by. Unlike other negative 'rules' that are often thrown at us ("Don't do this! Don't do that!") these lessons are all appealingly positive. More than just a book of quotes or stories, and filled with inspirational examples from everyday life, "Lessons to Live By: The Canine Commandments" plainly shows how we can all benefit from the wisdom of dogs. Whether or not you have a dog or even like dogs, these memorable lessons will provide you or someone you know with a straightforward and uncomplicated approach to living a happier and more fulfilling life. The author will donate 100% of the net proceeds of this edition to the care and saving of dogs and other animals, through the efforts of humane groups, rescue organizations, and other dedicated animal supporters.
From the New York Times bestselling author—and his dog—more woofs of wisdom In his first book, John O'Hurley wrote of the many life lessons he'd learned from dogs' lessons that carried him from the New England woods of his childhood to his life today as an award-winning actor, composer, and writer amidst the bright lights of Hollywood. Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, John once again finds himself seeking the wisdom of a canine companion. After years of parenting pets, last December, he became a father to his first child, William. Along with the many new joys of being a dad, John faced a new set of challenges' and it was Scoshi, his wizened white Maltese and faithful confidant for nearly two decades, who, at every turn, pointed the way. At once poignant, profound, and laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the joys of parenting pets and children alike, and further testament to the enduring wisdom of man's best friend.
GROWING UP, GOTHAM CHOPRA WAS EXPOSED TO THE DEEPEST reservoirs of knowledge that his famous father, Deepak, could find; his childhood was part spiritual, part scientific, and totally unique. Now a new father himself, he has contemplated the influences he wants to draw on for his own son. The first was no surprise: his father. The second was unexpected: his dogs. He realised that the lessons and qualities his dogs have shown him over the years have had a true impact on his outlook: from their curiosity and wisdom to their open-mindedness and passion, these animals shaped his life. After circumstances pushed them together in adulthood, Deepak and Gotham's daily walks with their dogs offered them a chance to reconnect, reminisce and reflect on their lives, fatherhood, memories and lessons that have profound meaning for fathers, sons, dog owners and families. Gotham's and Deepak's message may seem simple, but therein its brilliance. Heartfelt, endearing, and above all down to earth, Walking Wisdom offers readers both enlightenment and comfort, with a little bit of mayhem thrown in for good measure.
