Lots of resources and a great bibliography! Last copy. $5 plus post.
The Dog Who Spoke With Gods
by Diane Jessup
Softcover, 2001
I wasn't sure where to put this one. It is a novel, technically, but it is so great, I wanted to be sure that anyone interested in dogs would find this listing. This book won the Dog Writer's Merial Human-Animal Bond Award, with good reason. This book will tear you apart, as a medical researcher is emotionally drawn to one of the research dogs in her lab. We need more books like this one. In close to new condition, just one corner bump, etc. $5 plus post.
Star in the Storm
By Joan Hiatt Harlow; hardcover with dust jacket, published in 2000. 150 pages.
Ah, a young adult novel about Newfoundland and that most noble of all dogs, The Newf. When non-shepherd dogs are banned from her village in 1912, Maggie vowed to hide and protect her beloved Newfie. What happens when the gale comes up makes for exciting reading but the whole book is a tribute to the fishing culture of Newfoundland. This is a great book…and not just for kids. It is hard to find and this is an excellent copy with a very nice dust jacket. $5 plus post.
