Book Synopsis The Lost Dogs by : Jim Gorant
Download or read book The Lost Dogs written by Jim Gorant. This book was released on 2011-09-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring story of survival and our powerful bond with man's best friend, in the aftermath of the nation's most notorious case of animal cruelty. Animal lovers and sports fans were shocked when the story broke about NFL player Michael Vick's brutal dog fighting operation. But what became of the dozens of dogs who survived? As acclaimed writer Jim Gorant discovered, their story is the truly newsworthy aspect of this case. Expanding on Gorant's Sports Illustrated cover story, The Lost Dogs traces the effort to bring Vick to justice and turns the spotlight on these infamous pit bulls, which were saved from euthanasia by an outpouring of public appeals coupled with a court order that Vick pay nearly a million dollars in "restitution" to the dogs. As an ASPCA-led team evaluated each one, they found a few hardened fighters, but many more lovable, friendly creatures desperate for compassion. In The Lost Dogs, we meet these amazing animals, a number of which are now living in loving homes, while some even work in therapy programs: Johnny Justice participates in Paws for Tales, which lets kids get comfortable with reading aloud by reading to dogs; Leo spends three hours a week with cancer patients and troubled teens. At the heart of the stories are the rescue workers who transformed the pups from victims of animal cruelty into healing caregivers themselves, unleashing priceless hope. Includes an 8-page photo insert. Watch a video

Book Synopsis The Lost Dog by : Michelle de Kretser
Download or read book The Lost Dog written by Michelle de Kretser. This book was released on 2008-04-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Loxley, an Indian-Australian professor, is less concerned with finishing his book on Henry James than with finding his dog, who is lost in the Australian bush. Joining his daily hunt is Nelly Zhang, an artist whose husband disappeared mysteriously years before Tom met her. Although Nelly helps him search for his beloved pet, Tom isn't sure if he should trust this new friend. Tom has preoccupations other than his book and Nelly and his missing dog, mainly concerning his mother, who is suffering from the various indignities of old age. He is constantly drawn from the cerebral to the primitive -- by his mother's infirmities, as well as by Nelly's attractions. The Lost Dog makes brilliant use of the conventions of suspense and atmosphere while leading us to see anew the ever-present conflicts between our bodies and our minds, the present and the past, the primal and the civilized.

Book Synopsis Lost Dogs by : Jeff Lemire
Download or read book Lost Dogs written by Jeff Lemire. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long out of print, Jeff Lemire's Xeric-Award-winning Lost Dogs now returns in a newly remastered edition, soaked with blood and ink. This mythic yarn follows a family man who's larger than life ... but even he may not be powerful enough to prevent the loss of everything he's ever known. Bold, brutal, and emotionally raw, Lost Dogs represents an acclaimed storyteller's first professional work - an early exhibition of the gifts that have made Lemire's Essex County and Sweet Tooth so phenomenally popular.
