- How my dog saved my life : thirty tales of courage and compassion / by Cochran, Cate.;
"Dogs are deeply empathetic and able to understand humans in ways that surpass language. Any dog owner knows how comforting it is to have their dog nuzzle them at just the right moment. Dogs can also act in ways that are at times astonishing -- not only sensing danger, but actively finding ways to help in an emergency How My Dog Saved My Life is full of stories about clever and courageous canines -- dogs that save people from a burning building, run a great distance to bring help to the scene of a car crash, or guide rescuers across the freezing tundra to save their owner in the nick of time. These heroic rescue stories are here. But rescue goes beyond world-altering accidents -- often, it's in the everyday. Dogs and people share a mysteriously communicative bond. Dogs' unique capacity to intuit the needs of their humans and respond equips them to be trained as sophisticated service animals. Most people are familiar with seeing eye dogs, but there are myriad other types of service dogs, perhaps as many as there are people whose lives are improved by them. You'll meet some of these remarkable dogs in this book. How My Dog Saved My Life brings you stories of dogs that change the course of their owners' lives through their physical bravery and uncanny, unwavering commitment to their person. These stories will remind you why the love between humans and their dogs is so enduring and has the power to profoundly change someone's world. This book is for all dog lovers. It will pull at your heartstrings and teach you a little bit more about the animals that share our homes and lives"--Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: HUMOR / Topic / Animals; PETS / Dogs / General; PETS / Essays & Narratives;

- Underestimated : the wisdom and power of teenage girls / by Goodan, Chelsey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In the vein of Reviving Ophelia and Untangled comes a fresh, unexpected, and empowering guide to better understand teenage girls, revealing how their insights can create heartfelt connections and impactful change. Written with warmth and humor, Underestimated is the first book to invite us into a teenage girl's brain and heart, as told from the point of view of a beloved and trusted mentor. Chelsey Goodan is a highly sought-after academic tutor who has worked with hundreds of girls from all different backgrounds, earning their trust, confidence, and friendship. They in turn have shared with her their innermost concerns, doubts, and what they wish they could communicate to their parents and the world at large. With topics and language directly chosen by the girls, Goodan reveals how the solutions to a girl's well-being lie within her. She offers parents the exact words they can use to help her discover these solutions and demonstrates how adults can better support a teenage girl's voice to create positive change. Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on our own fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom, creating more healing and connection for everyone. With inspiring ease, Underestimated shows us how to do this with accessible advice, entertaining narratives, and profound wisdom"--- Subjects: Teenage girls.;
