    CREATE A FURRY LOVE-CONNECTION! 
    Dogs are considered a part of the family, but what do you do when your dog interferes with love and romance? When your dog hates your date, but you’re smitten, what’s a caring pet owner to do? Or perhaps you’re pregnant, and your longtime “fur-kid” acts jealous, or you worry Grandma’s dogs aren’t used to toddler antics. The stress put on family relationships can make animal behaviors and communication go sideways, and turn a once loving pet bond into a dysfunctional relationship. Dogs often lose their homes or lives when the bond breaks, unless you teach dogs to accept babies, toddlers, and lovers. 
    MY DOG HATES MY DATE! packs prescriptive advice into a short how-to guide that offers step-by-step instructions how to improve family relationships between babies, toddlers, kids and adults, and your furry family members. You’ll learn: Why Some Dogs Hate New People7 Ways Dogs Show Love5 Tips to Jinx Jealous BehaviorThe Health Benefits of Pets & Why Kids Benefit Most!Dog-to-Baby IntroductionsDog-to-Toddler/Kid IntroductionsWhy “Acting” Like Dogs Makes You a Great Romantic Catch 
    With a fun conversational tone and easy to use proven techniques, MY DOG HATES MY DATE! helps ensure your loving bond remains strong and intact. 
    NOTE: If your sweetheart wants you to choose between him/her and your dog, suggest they read this book, before you show ‘em the door. Use the book as a “pet test” to teach dates how to win affection from your furry family members!

    Inspirational accounts of veterans who have moved forward from mental and physical injuries toward healthier lives with the help of service dogs.  Hundreds of thousands of military veterans seek treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) each year. Service dogs have been used for many years in the civilian sector to help their disabled owners perform necessary tasks in daily life; likewise, the organized use of therapy dogs to bring comfort and companionship to hospital and nursing-home patients dates back more than four decades. Reporting for Duty explores the unique and special bond between wounded warriors—especially those suffering from PTSD—and their service dogs and discusses the vital work of therapy dogs who visit VA hospitals and military rehabilitation facilities. Author Tracy Libby tells the true stories of disabled veterans who have been touched, assisted, and enriched by the dogs in their lives, and the new lease on life is reciprocal: many of these service and therapy dogs have been rescued from shelters and specially trained for their jobs. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit a veterans’ service-dog organization.Inside Reporting for Duty . . .True stories of physically and mentally disabled veterans who count on service dogs for assistance with daily tasksAn explanation of PTSD and how it affects military veteransHow therapy dogs and service dogs are selected and trained for their jobsRescuing shelter dogs to train for therapy and service workHow the military is training dogs to accompany soldiers on deploymentsA look at the bond between people and dogs and the positive effects it has on both

    The aviators. The Amtrak. The ice cream cones. The memes. Few politicians are as iconic, or as beloved, as Joe Biden. Now, in The Book of Joe, Biden fans will finally have the definitive look at America's favorite vice president—and what he can teach us. 
     
     
     
    Structured around key moments in Biden's life and career—and filled with Biden-isms like "That's a bunch of malarkey" and "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid"—this blend of biography, advice, and humor will reveal the experiences that forged Joe Biden, and the lessons we can use in our own lives. Along the way, listeners will also encounter fun asides about his love of muscle cars, his most endearing gaffes, his bromance with President Obama, and much more. 
     
     
     
    Yet beneath the memorable Biden-isms, the book will reveal an inspirational story of a man who keeps "getting back up." We need this right now. Much as Biden has come back from both professional missteps and personal heartbreaks, sometimes we all have to get back up and fight. Given Biden's reputation as a decent, plainspoken, patriotic statesman of integrity, this entertaining and practical book will be both a celebration of great political figure and an essential guide to creating the America he believes in so dearly.
