Duffy's World: Seeing the World Through a Dog's Eyes

Autor Faith McCune
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2013
Have you ever wondered what your dog was thinking, especially as he's trying to make every neighborhood dog his own personal squeaky toy or wailing in panic on a car trip? In "Duffy's World," curious humans finally have the chance to find out.
Duffy is an Australian Shepherd with an unquenchable thirst for new experiences--that often get him into trouble. In this quirky memoir, Duffy reveals his thoughts about his most significant life events: finding "treats" in the yard, gaining a cat for a sister, braving a sadistic vet, losing loved ones, and more.
Co-narrated by his owner, Faith McCune, Duffy's account identifies the joys and challenges that mark the territory of the human/canine relationship. As frustrating as dog ownership can be, readers will discover, as Duffy's owner did, that dogs' apparent failure to learn from the past is actually their relentless ability to live in the moment, and what seems to be their greatest challenge is actually their greatest gift.
If you've ever found yourself wondering "why does my dog do that?" "Duffy's World" will help you better understand your pet--and maybe even learn from him as well.

The Pet Store
We needed to get supplies and food for our new pup. So into the car we went with the squirmy little tyke in tow. He was all claws and teeth, but I managed to keep from dropping him. He would’ve made a run for it and I’d never catch him.

We bought a huge bag of food and a few toys. The clerk suggested we stock up on training and cleaning supplies as well. Our pup was almost eight weeks old and full of untamed mischief and boundless energy. She said we needed to redirect that energy so he doesn’t destroy our home. Good idea! Now, how do we do that?

Mama and Daddy stuffed me in the car again. I was afraid! The car was not my friend. It just kept humming when I was crying for help. I won’t ever know how to get back to my mom if we kept moving! I tried to climb out of Mama’s lap and scratched her. She yowled but didn’t bite me. My mom did a couple times. Hard. She said “grrrrrrrrr” a lot too. Mostly to me. Maybe because she chased me more than my brothers and sisters.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Duffy’s World is part memoir, part dog owner’s manual, narrated primarily from a dog’s point of view. As Duffy’s owner chimes in with her own perspective, readers will recognize their own joys and challenges that mark the territory of the human/canine relationship. From eating anything and everything, to a profound fear of needles and bee stings, to being “released” from dog training school, Duffy’s never-ending zest for new experiences is the source of his owner’s greatest frustration and most profound life lessons.
