What Vets Don't Tell You About Vaccines
by Cathrine O'Driscoll

We don't vaccinate humans every year, so why is it that we are advised to vaccinate our dogs and cats annually? It is well known that a certain number of humans will be damaged by vaccines, but vets claim that only a tiny minority of dogs and cats suffer adverse vaccine reactions. Is this true?

After the death of two young dogs, Catherine O'Driscoll discovered that the risks of vaccination are much higher than anyone cares to admit - the 'tiny minority' is a significant significant number! Today, many vets around the world are questioning the vaccine regime. Some assert that vaccines do more harm than good, and the risks far outweigh the benefits.

Turning the world on its head, Catherine O'Driscoll gives you - ordinary dog owners and lovers - the information that vets won't or can't tell you. Her aim is to share the truth so that dog lovers everywhere can make informed choices about the well-being of the pets they treasure. In fact the risks are much higher than are admitted. When is it right to vaccinate, when not to vaccinate? This book reveals the answers. There is solid scientific research to demonstrate that vaccines can be harmful. This book gives the researched facts about:

  • vaccines that can cause encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain - encephalitis has many diverse symptoms, usually involving a highly sensitized state such as allergies, skin problems, behavioral problems, convulsions, eating disorders, and more.

  • vaccines that are mixed with deadly poisons.

  • vaccines that can cause the diseases they are designed to prevent.

  • vaccines that shed into the environment, spreading disease.

  • vaccines that disarm and unbalance the immune system.

  • vaccines which need and do not need annual usage .

And the alternatives to vaccines.

Why is Cancer Killing Our Pets?: How You Can Protect and Treat Your Animal Companion by Deborah Straw

In the U.S., cancer is the second leading cause of death in humans but the number one killer of pets, primarily cats and dogs. After losing four pets to four different forms of cancer, longtime journalist and animal lover Deborah Straw decided to investigate the matter further. The result of her considerable and careful research is Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets?: How You Can Protect and Treat Your Animal Companion. Without endorsing any particular form of care, but stressing the value of expert intervention, Straw discusses cancer prevention, traditional and alternative cancer treatments and how to cope with the loss of a pet to this relentless disease.

The Pet Tribune, November/December 2000 : "The first book to examine the environmental, dietary, and lifestyle-related causes of cancer in pets to assess the full spectrum of treatments--both alternative and conventional. Cancer is now the number one killer of most domestic animals.  Readers will discover the many environmental, dietetic, and vaccine-related culprits that may cause cancer in pets, and they'll learn preventive measures that can be taken to safeguard their pet's well-being.  Full of knowledge, options, and support, this is an essential resource for protecting your pet." 
Green Mountain Bookshelf, The Burlington Free Press, December 24, 2000 : "Straw's book is a comprehensive examination of the issue, covering everything from the rise in incidence to the emotional distress.  It takes up cause, treatment, prevention and grief."

The Heart of the Matter

Paul Loeb and Suzanne Hlavack

 From the authors of Smarter Than You Think, the revolutionary book on teaching and understanding your dog in hours rather than months, The Heart of the Matter takes the next step in addressing dog and cat behavioral problems and nutritional needs--with detailed explanations of the health benefits of fresh food and the health and behavioral problems possibly caused by some commercial foods for pets. The authors have created an innovative and eye-opening approach to living in greater harmony with our beloved dogs and cats.

Forget obedience school, forget the choke chains. Paul Loeb and Suzanne Hlavacek eschew even the word training with its negative connotations of crates, muzzles, cages, and other devices of animal cruelty and control.

They explain "The Magic Touch," a simple method of creating immediate and positive behavior change without gadgets, practice, or pain. They take a very thorough look at nutrition and its ramifications for pets' health and behavior, and debunk numerous "well-known truths" of animal care and behavior.

The goal is to acknowledge and understand your pets' personalities, enjoy each other's company, and not end up with a furry robot-pet. This is a refreshing and unusual approach, and the book entertains with stories of the authors' and others' hilarious adventures and misadventures with dogs and cats. --Mark A. Hetts

Cesar Millan - Be the Pack Leader

Millan, television's "Dog Whisperer," says that "Even the most unobservant person can see an owner's own issues totally mirrored in his or her dogs' problems," and in this follow-up to last year's best-selling Cesar's Way, he makes that connection more explicit and exploitable. Every dog wants a "clearly defined social framework, with a fair, consistent pack leader"; chances are good, then, that behind every unruly dog is an inconsistent human. 

To become the master your dog needs, one must cultivate "calm-assertive energy," a mind-set that puts both dogs and people at ease; besides thorough explanation, Millan offers a number of suggestions for developing this powerful form of non-verbal communication, including visualization techniques and inner dialogue ("focus your mind, and then tell yourself, 'This is my sofa.' "). 

Answering readers' requests for more straightforward advice, the book also offers a rundown of training tools-collars, leashes, etc.-and step-by-step instructions for properly handling common occurrences such as meeting a new dog, walking, feeding and visiting the vet. In numerous case studies, Millan's love for his work is obvious and infectious; whether you need a book for your dog or yourself, Millan's simple techniques, compassionate tone and intimate knowledge of dog psychology (and the human effect on it) makes this a worthy read.

Like a match.com date she decided to meet Shadow "just to see" and, because she couldn't think of any reason not to take him home, he became hers. He also became her problem! Follow their 18-month journey, in diary form, from the early, dark days of fear and frustration to the daylight of confidence and trust. Learn how difficult it is, even for a professional dog trainer, to handle a dog with a past - and a temper too. A trainer who refused to give up while using positive, no-force training methods!

Psychic Pets: True Accounts of the Paranormal Power of Animals (Paperback)

by Michael Streeter

Some of this unusual volume's accounts are ghostly, others are heartwarming, and all are about animals that possess mysterious, unexplained powers. Told here are moving stories of animals whose timely premonitions saved their owners' lives, as well as tales of un-breakable bonds between animals and humans that transcend distance and time. Many pet owners marvel at how their dog or cat seems to anticipate its master's arrival home, or know precisely when it's time for a meal or a walk. Describing more unusual examples, the author tells, for instance, how a cat sent her owner a telepathic message to rescue her from a garbage dump. Here too is the story of how a barking retriever aroused a diplo-matic staff in China, coaxing them to safety only moments before a devastating earth-quake leveled their building. Other fascinating stories tell of the U.S. Army's attempts to train psychic dogs, fish that rained down from a cloudless sky, and a mind-reading pig that astonished Victorian England. The author narrates these and dozens more amazing, true, animal-related stories that modern science is at a loss explain. More than 200 color illustrations.

Wolf: Spirit of the Wild: A Celebration of Wolves in Word and Image by Diana Landau , Douglas H. Chadwick 

(Hard Cover, 182 pages)

Amazon.com
Wolves, extinct in many regions and necessarily furtive, are a rare sight in the wild. Anyone curious about the elusive Canis lupus might do well to start their search from an armchair, with this wide-ranging coffee table book as their guide. Originally published by the Nature Company in 1993, this reissued "celebration" is in fact an enormous collage of stories, legends, poetry, paintings, and photos relating to this largest member of the canine family. Short chapters such as "On the Hunt," "Wolves at Play," and "The Wolf Way of Birth," offer insight into the lives of wolves, with excerpts from the work of notable writers such as Farley Mowat, Lois Crisler, Barry Lopez and Edward Hoagland. The book also features a remarkable collection of photographs, including work by Jim Brandenburg--one of the world's foremost wolf photographers, and a first look at Mattias Klum's photos of wolves in his native Sweden.

Emphasizing the breadth rather than depth of wolf studies, Wolf provides a wide-ranging, accessible look at this most admired, and vilified, of carnivores. --Maria Dolan

From Library Journal
This handsome new book presents the wolf in fact, fiction, legend, folklore, and art, pairing outstanding color photographs and art reproductions with excerpts from writings about wolves. The photos are the work of well-known nature and outdoor photographers, and the writings include observations by field biologists, writings by people who have lived intimately with wolf packs, and fiction, poetry, and folk legends from many lands. This book has much to teach about the habits and unique social structure of wolves and also raises important questions about the issue of the preservation of the wolf (considered an endangered species since 1973) and its reintroduction to former habitats. This volume will be hailed by wolf enthusiasts and is recommended wherever interest warrants. ADeborah Emerson, Monroe Community Coll. Lib., Rochester, NY

Spirit of the Wolf by Shaun Ellis

(Hardcover)

 Shaun Ellis is a wolf behavior expert who conducts research in a unique and sometimes controversial way: by living with the wolves and becoming part of their world. Throughout his life, he has dedicated much of his time to studying and researching the behavior of wild wolves by living among them, which has given him one-of-a-kind insight into the complex society of the wolf. By being closer to wolves than nearly anyone else in the world, he has learned a language unlike any other.

Believing that living alongside wolves is the best way to understand them, Ellis immerses himself in wolf society. He lives and behaves like them - howling, licking and snarling - even eating and playing like the wolves. He has lived among captive wolf packs in England and spent seven years on the Nez Perce reservation in Idaho, U.S. studying wolves. It was on the Nez Perce reservation that he first was able to get inside a pack of wolves and live among them.

His studies evolved as he began recording wild wolf howls in the woods, using recording equipment at night in freezing temperatures and snow, and then playing them back again and again the next day. With patient listening, he learned how to pick out individual pack members through their distinctive sounds.

He recently spent 18 months living in captivity with a trio of wolf pups that had been abandoned by their mother at birth, educating them as wild wolves in the hope that they could survive in the wild. This experience is documented in National Geographic Channel's upcoming special The Wolf man.

Through this direct study, he has learned how to communicate with the wolves and defend himself through scent and sounds. He understands scent markings as well as the different howls to defend and call. He believes that wolves are highly intelligent, highly instinctive animals brought up with trust and balance, characteristics that are often misunderstood by humans.

Wolf: Legend, Enemy, Icon

Author: Rebecca L. Grambo

A passionate look at one of the most fascinating animals in the world.

Throughout history, wolves have fascinated, inspired and terrified people around the world. Fierce, loyal, tribal and intelligent, these animals are the subject of this intimate portrait. Early humans shared a nomadic hunting lifestyle with wolves and identified with their social structure and family life. They wrapped wolves in the golden cloth of legend, revering them as creators and helpers. Some, with great pride, even claimed wolves as their direct ancestors.

Drawing on a wide variety of sources, the author weaves together ancient legends, up-to-date science, historical writings and personal observations with artifacts and the penetrating photography of Daniel J. Cox. The result is the magnificent, passionate and powerful story of an animal worth understanding and preserving.

Wolf chapters include:

  • Early myths and legends -- stories that record the earliest human -- wolf encounters

  • Part of the Pack -- how wolves work together to hunt, for protection and to take care of the young

  • Legendary Predator -- how wolves organize the hunt and select their prey

  • Warriors and Wolves -- how, from ancient times, wolves have been role models for warriors

  • Shamans and Shapeshifters -- how wolves have been seen as a great source of power and healing

  • Predator Becomes Prey -- how humans have hunted wolves beyond all reason or need

  • At the Edge Again -- what the future holds for this magnificent animal.

Wolf blends natural science, history, and folklore to explore our fascination with one of the most complex creatures in the world. The book explores how humans have interacted with wolves, from the earliest creation myths to current attempts to restore near-extinct populations.

A Wolf in the Family by Jerome Hellmuth 

Original paperback novel, first printing December 1965 (collectors item) Copyright 1964

Petitions circulated among the neighbors. The landlord sent eviction notices. A strange scientist lurked on the doorstep. All because Jerome Hellmuth brought home a tiny, helpless newborn pup... who quickly evolved into seventy-five pounds of gray, dagger-fanged she-wolf. 

This is the story of the days and months that followed Kunu's adoption by the Hellmuths. who soon discovered that life with a wolf is seldom dull. Her affectionate nature, for instance, was often misunderstood; her gnawing "wolf kisses" and her happy howling merely struck terror into the hearts of strangers. But the reciprocal love affair between man's legendary foe and a family grew to include a whole town, when Kunu performed an act of singular heroism...
