New fiction book - a nice read

Basenji Talk
  • KipawaK

    A couple of days ago I picked up a new 2010 book called "One Good Dog" by Susan Wilson. It had been reviewed in one of our newspapers, and it sounded like a decent book. I wasn't disappointed.

    It's the story of a very successful businessman who falls on hard times, and the rescued pitbull that comes into his life. I won't say more as I hate it when something is reviewed and the review basically gives the whole story away. They do that with movie trailers too - after watching them I always feel there is no reason to go to the movie.

    The book is currently only published as a hardcover, selling in the U.S. for $22.99 and in Canada for $27.99. I'm sure that in 6 months to a year it will be out as a paperback.

    I'll show this to my niece…she has three pits and was involved in rescue until her son was born two years ago. She is a HUGE pit advocate. Sounds like something she might like.

    @rugosa LOL on the pig ear. But it's not just a basenji trait. One night it was storming and one of my rotts was fixated on one of the bedroom windows. I looked, there was a toad on the screen! The dog was so intense about wanting to get to it, my daughter went out in the rain and moved it from the window. From then until she died, day or night, I had to let her in the bedroom when it stormed to make sure the once-in-a-lifetime visitor wasn't there. They think more than many people give them credit for.

    Well, at least PetSmart has pulled them because of concerns. I found them missing when I went to work in our treat aisle today!!! http://www.itchmo.com/smokehouse-brand-dog-treats-pulled-from-petsmart-shelves-2869 We will be speaking to his vet about this ASAP, though he's keeping food down and has his energy back.

    Hollie would simply chew up the plastic bottle to get to the treats. She has done this with EMPTY bottles. That's my B!

    I think an original idea should be developed that is associated with bs. The weims dressed up is so classic for them. Bs should somehow be associated with messes. Maybe they should be paired with new furniture advertising or TP sales!!! Weims became so popular tho, they are having probs in rescue. They are very high energy and most people can't give them enough exercise. I think my idea would prevent Bs from becoming too popular and lots more ending up in rescue. :D

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
