In 100 Ways to Be As Happy As Your Dog , animal behaviour expert Celia Haddon shows you 100 ways in which you, too, can master the art of being happy by learning from your favourite canine companions. Curious, affectionate and always full of energy, dogs have always been a source of joy for us no matter what we are going through in life. Whether you've got a Labrador, a poodle or a shih tzu, your dog is always there, ready to play fetch or offer a cuddle or go for long walks on the beach when you need it. So let animal behaviour expert and bestselling author Celia Haddon show you how you, too, can live a good life as a human by learning the art of happiness from our best animal friend.
"I have loved animals from as far back as I can remember", writes Celia Haddon. "As a child, I realised that some animals suffered at the hands of ignorant humans. To right this I have published several books about cats. Cats make me laugh. We humans don't really understand them, though. If we did, they would have a happier life.
For 20 years I wrote about companion animals (pets) for the Daily Telegraph. For 12 of these years I was a pet agony aunt and dealt with about 100,000 letters. My aim was to improve animals' lives by giving good information - and, with luck, to make my readers laugh at the same time.
I have also written several daily quotation books, now out of print, and a history of the first English Olimpick Games in 1612 - now republished in Kindle. My latest cat is Tilly and my latest cat book is Tilly: the Ugliest Cat in the Shelter. It tells the story of how I rescued Tilly from 18 months without adoption; and how she rescued me in the darkest moment of my life.
Such a short book and a quick read... But has so many important lessons and good advice. I will definitely be re-reading this frequently as I know I have a lot I can learn from this tiny book. And a lot that I NEED to learn from it, for my own sanity and for a chance at a better life. I have 4 dogs, I relate to all of it. But even if you don't have dogs, you can learn a lot from this book and become a better person.
A very sensible book on choosing a dog, training, feeding and looking after this wonderful companion, who will give you MANY years of ownership pleasure. I think the little booklet should be sold together with a new dog, if not before you think about acquiring one. Simple to read, simple information and very easily understood by child or adult This book was provided to me in return for an honest and unbiased review
I thought that this book was fun and easy to read and full too of helpful hints and tips. Its set out well and the 'one hundred ways' follow each other really well. The book is only 25 pages long but it crams a lot in that space.
