For thousands of years, men and women have known who to turn to in times of trouble - a dog. All over the world dogs have risked, and often lost, their lives to look after the human beings they care for. Their intelligence, devotion and astonishing courage to help humans in distress on countless occasions almost defies belief. Their stories range from Roselle the Labrador, who led her blind owner to safety from the carnage of the World Trade Centre, to the legends of Balto and Togo, two of the huskies who traversed over 1,000 kilometres of snow and ice to bring life-saving medicine to an isolated town, and Swansea Jack, the black Labrador who rescued almost 30 people from drowning and who had a statue erected in his honour. Many of the dogs featured in this book have been specially trained to help humans, a task they eagerly set about regardless of the physical risk they face as a result. Then there are the family pets who, when danger threatens, react with total disregard for their own wellbeing, caring only about one thing; protecting the humans they love.
With more than 150,000 copies sold, Mother Knows Best is one of the top training books of all time. Based on the natural way a mother dog trains her puppies, Benjamin's training method is humane, effective and all natural. Now we've put a bright new cover on a timeless classic.
Setting: CHICAGO. Cleaning toilets may seem like a boring and thankless job but not for Elandro Tirogallo, Maitre d’ of the Men’s Room at Chicago’s Five Star Hotel—the Hotel Risque. Elandro is the consummate Men’s Room Attendant. Part of his ever-increasing duties is keeping Victoria, the local drag queen out of “men’s business.” Soon two corpulent nuns—two who have never missed a meal—Srs. Disciplinata and Serenity, from Our Lady of Incarceration Catholic Church, arrive to “assess” the Tirogallo children, Barney and Pietro. Their meeting unfortunately leads to an unplanned visit to the neighborhood porno theater. Unexpectedly, their local bishop and “that Nazi lackey”of his, are out strolling near the theater and view with disdain the two sister’s dalliance. The sister’s mission, if they choose to accept it, is to duck the bishop, thus enhancing their chances of receiving the coveted “Teachers of the Year” award. And Elandro’s life takes a new and exciting turn as he is mistaken for the “World’s Greatest Surgeon,” (WGS) (who is really the notorious womanizer, Dr. Orenby Hatch). When the Soviet Premier, Petrov (their inept leader), becomes terminally ill, a plot is “hatched” to secure the services of the WGS. Soviet operatives soon gather to plan and commit resources to kidnap the now cocky, Elandro Tirogallo. Is Elandro up to the job? You bet he is.
