Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wonderful look at the history of this popular and well-recognized dog. Hynes begins his book with a history of the breed and moves on to stories about Newfoundland dogs past and present. These tales make up the bulk of the book, and are generally short, illustrating the traits we associate with the breed: Loyalty, bravery, intelligence and gentleness. The stories are grouped by type - rescues, proof of intelligence, acts of kindness, and so on. There are tales of dogs performing heroic sea rescues, catching fish with remarkable skill, acting as dependable hunting partners, and caring for children. One hilarious chapter is devoted to the Newfoundland's subtle sense of humour. Hynes recounts anecdotes himself, but he also quotes historical text extensively, letting past Newfoundland owners talk about their dogs in their own words. The last section of the book deals with the care and training of Newfoundland dogs. Hynes is thorough and honest in his advice - caring for a 150 pound dog requires diligence and devotion. This book is devoted to Newfoundland dogs: heroes, artful dodgers, escape artists, and best friends.

Book excerpt: "One man, one dog, and a grand adventure across the rugged and mystical interior wilderness of Newfoundland. In April of 2017, Justin Barbour and his dog, Saku, arrived on the Rock's west coast to begin their quest to live the ways of old and see parts of the province's woods that few will ever get to see. A late winter lingers, and the duo must push over the Long Range Mountains and toward the interior of the island, where they hope lakes and rivers will be thawed to allow them to continue by inflatable raft. From sunrise to sunset, the reader will follow the companions as they navigate against the dangerous and unforgiving elements from west to east in an attempt to reach Cape Broyle, some 700 kilometres away. It was an adventure that spanned sixty-eight days and would push their limits further than they could have ever imagined. You'll see the island in a unique way, become enlightened about outdoor life, and learn more about Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole. Complete with photos, maps, and interesting facts from the journey, you will feel the heat of the campfire roasting your cheeks, the tug of a trout on your line, and the breath of a black bear on your neck. It's an experience for nature lovers everywhere."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinated by them, unable to ignore them, and imaginatively stimulated by them, Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city, so too did they populate his fiction, journalism, and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines, Beryl Gray shows that dogs, real and invented, were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends, family, and fellow writers, and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press, newspapers, and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city, the treatment of animals in literature and art, and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.
