My Friend Was Trying To Tell Me... recounts a true story as told by the author of his dog & canine best buddy "Mayhem" who one day mysteriously starts barking at him with a constant and deliberate urgency. After several months of incessant barking, Mayhem sadly passes on from old age.

Описание:
Man's best friend, domesticated since prehistoric times, a travelling companion for explorers and artists, thinkers and walkers, equally happy curled up by the fire and bounding through the great outdoors--dogs matter to us because we love them. But is that all there is to the canine's good-natured voracity and affectionate dependency?
Mark Alizart dispenses with the well-worn clich s concerning dogs and their masters, seeing them not as submissive pets but rather as unexpected life coaches, ready to teach us the elusive recipes for contentment and joy. Dogs have faced their fate in life with a certain detachment that is not easy to understand. Unlike other animals in a similar situation, they have not become hardened, nor have they let themselves die a little inside. On the contrary, they seem to have softened. This book is devoted to understanding this miracle, the miracle of the joy of dogs - to understanding it and, if at all possible, to learning how it's done.
Weaving elegantly and eruditely between historical myth and pop-culture anecdote, between the peculiar views of philosophers and the even more bizarre findings of science, Alizart offers us a surprising new portrait of the dog as thinker--a thinker who may perhaps know the true secret of our humanity.
Описание: Over the years, certain dogs have improved and advanced the field of health care in myriad ways. In this book, the author presents the stories of these pioneer dogs. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship, and moments in history where that relationship propelled health care forward.
This is the story of the vagabond canines that hopped on railroads across the United States, often becoming celebrities and national heroes. Chapters introduce canines like Owney, guardian of the railway mail service; Fala, FDR's beloved dog and train-companion; Annie, the Colorado railway ambassador; the K9 patrols who watch over the tracks; and many more.
As railroads were changing America, these raildogs were changing the people who lived and worked in rail communities. For the dogs of the railways, home became the hearts of the people of the railroad. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship between a dog and a community and moments in history where that relationship symbolized the quest for home and belonging, a search that humans often share with our canine travelers.

Written by a journalist with a background in anthropology, this book is based on exclusive access to the police dogs' secret files. It includes interviews with retired and working canine officers and spans 70 years, from the canine section's inception in 1952 to 2022. Follow the dogs' work during colonialism, independence, the Black Power movement, the rise of the illegal drug trade, and the age of terrorism. Criminals grow bolder and crime-fighting becomes more sophisticated, but police dogs still rank as one of the most effective ways to fight crime. Fierce, feared, loyal and lovable, these dogs create an unforgettable trail of heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and unimaginable stories.
