This book is about understanding ourselves through our relationship with our dogs. By taking the time to pay attention, we can learn much from our four-legged friends. Through patience we can enhance communication and decrease frustration. If we let our dogs make mistakes and teach them, they can grow in confidence and understanding and become better behaved. When this happens, dogs become our best friends and advocates. I learned as much from my dog as he, I hope, learned from me. The better we understood each other the stronger our bond became and the more fun we had. It was not perfect; there were many mistakes along the way. But, over time it got much easier. My best friend, Dash, knew I would always be there for him and I knew he would do his best to never let me down. This took time, patience, mutual trust, and understanding. Like human relationships, you get out what you put in and it takes effort on both sides. I tell this story through my dog's eyes because this, I hope, helps to explain the challenges of a dog in a people world. Dogs are "part" of our life but we are the whole of their life. They depend on us for food, exercise, socialization, medicine and love. The more attentive we are, the better they do at knowing our expectations. But it's not easy. Animal behavior is often misunderstood. It's easy to become inpatient or frustrated at what we see as bad behavior but if we can change our perspective, we might see that these mistakes are not bad behavior but are our pets trying to communicate in the only way they can. We need to pay attention to what they are trying to tell us. Dogs cannot tell us through words so it's about behavior and our response to their behavior. I am not here to give advice; I made my share of mistakes along the way. But learning for me occurred when I realized that Dash gave me a very special gift. Dogs have senses that humans don't have and many of his responses were based on not just my behavior but my emotion. He knew when I was stressed, angry, frustrated and scared long before I did. He was responding to me. His intent was to help, protect and support me. Yet, if I missed these cues, I would get angry at him for jumping or barking. He would not understand what he did wrong, as he was just trying to help. Likewise, he knew when I was happy, joyful, excited, and proud. He celebrated with me using his emotions (running around, jumping and barking) but at times I would not interpret this as love and support and would get frustrated with him. I would then leave and celebrate my good news with friends, leaving him hurt and confused. Once I understood that he was there for me and I took the time to acknowledge that, he calmed down. While he didn't get to go everywhere, he had more adventures than many dogs because his inclusion enhanced the fun. Even if he didn't get to go, he knew he was a good boy and was not frustrated and feeling misunderstood. I hope as you read about Dash's adventures that you will embrace that special relationship between person and dog and if you have never had a dog, will consider adopting one. I have learned so much about myself thought Dash. I hope you enjoy Dash's adventures as much as I did his real life.
Dash is badly behaved at puppy school, he chews things that he shouldn't, he makes puddles on the floor, he wrecks the garden, and he steals food off the bench when no one is looking. Perfectly standard puppy behaviour. But Dash is far from an ordinary pet - and his inquisitive nature and insatiable appetite get him in all kinds of trouble. A highly entertaining and hilarious picture book that celebrates the ups and downs of pet-ownership - and the power of imagination.
New from Newbery Honor author Kirby Larson, the moving story of a Japanese-American girl who is separated from her dog upon being sent to an incarceration camp during WWII. Although Mitsi Kashino and her family are swept up in the wave of anti-Japanese sentiment following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mitsi never expects to lose her home -- or her beloved dog, Dash. But, as World War II rages and people of Japanese descent are forced into incarceration camps, Mitsi is separated from Dash, her classmates, and life as she knows it. The camp is a crowded and unfamiliar place, whose dusty floors, seemingly endless lines, and barbed wire fences begin to unravel the strong Kashino family ties. With the help of a friendly neighbor back home, Mitsi remains connected to Dash in spite of the hard times, holding on to the hope that the war will end soon and life will return to normal. Though they've lost their home, will the Kashino family also lose their sense of family? And will Mitsi and Dash ever be reunited?

From Homer to Wordsworth to Gwendolyn Brooks, learn about history's greatest writers and the furry best friends that inspired them. Dogs are at once among the most ordinary of animals and the most beloved by mankind. But what we may not realize is that for as long as we have loved dogs, our poets have been seriously engaged with them as well. In this collection, English professor Duncan Wu digs into the wealth of poetry about our furry friends to show how varied and intimate our relationships with them have been over the centuries. Homer recounts how Odysseus's loyal dog recognizes his master even after his long absence. Thomas Hardy wrote poems from a pooch's perspective, conveying a powerful sense of dogs' innocent and trusting nature. And a multitude of writers, from Lord Byron to Emily Dickinson, have turned to poetry to mourn the loss of beloved dogs. Rich and inviting, Dog-eared is a spellbinding collection of poetic musings about humans and dogs and what they mean to each other.

No matter what problems the group may encounter, Max tries to overcome them and remain focused on winning. This would be easier to do if everyone knew what his super-secret was, but neither he (nor Dash) can tell anyone! As the season comes and goes, not even his closest friends and family can envision all the ups and downs that Max, Dash, and the gang may go through!
