New Book About Dogs Just Published – Available June 2023
DOGS DEMYSTIFIED, An A-to-Z Guide to All Things Canine
by Dr. Marc Bekoff, an award-winning scientist and dog lover
Description (from publisher New World Library)
Dr. Marc Bekoff is an expert at turning cutting-edge science into practical, reader-friendly information. The encyclopedic entries in this book cover everything related to dog care, dog-human 
relationships, and dog behavior, cognition, and emotions, making this the accessible book that every dog lover should have. In concise, readable A-through-Z entries, Bekoff covers it all, from aggression to pack formation to zoomies, and explores why dogs do what they do; exactly how to meet any dog eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, and ear-to-ear to understand their world better; and how tuning in to a dog’s unique personality leads to happier dogs and happier human companions.
The list of praises, recommendations and endorsements are amazing and can be seen at the publisher’s website [Link]
An interview with Dr Bekoff about the book discussing why he wrote it, can be seen at the Psychology Today’s special feature section called “All Dogs Go To Heaven” [Link]
- In the book are four original drawings contributed by singer and artist, Joan Baez and Paul McCartney wrote a story about a dog he and his family rescued.
- Dr B also quoted singer and songwriter Emmylou Harris.
I agree with renowned singer and songwriter Emmylou Harris who told me, “Dogs are a sacred responsibility, dogs make us better humans, and dogs are one of the universe’s best gifts.” When people embrace these ideas, the world will be better for dogs and people.
DOGS DEMYSTIFIED available this month online, in book stores and on the publishers website (with a 15% discount)[Link]

An average of 1,200 pets were adopted each day of the nation’s largest funded adoption event
Last month, 17,794 shelter pets went from kennels to couches during BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest-ever “Empty the Shelters” reduced-fee adoption event. The Foundation’s spring national event in partnership with Dogtopia, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing pet services franchise, took place at 364 participating shelters in 45 states. 
To provide additional support to shelters seeking critical relief from overcrowding and to ensure as many pets as possible found homes, BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsored adoption fees from May 1-15. During this event, 7,531 cats and 10,263 dogs were adopted from participating shelters. An additional 7,437 pets were also saved by “Empty the Shelters”—transported to shelters thanks to newly open space—bringing the total number of pets impacted to 25,231!
Adoptions took place at participating shelters nationwide from Hawaii to New York. These heartwarming adoption stories featured pets of all breeds, abilities, and ages receiving much-deserved second chances. Extra special adoption moments included pets who had been waiting months or even years for adoption, bonded pairs of pets going home together, and senior cats and dogs getting a chance to live out their Golden Years with adoring families.
BISSELL Pet Foundation is a charitable nonprofit organization with a mission to help reduce the number of animals in shelters through pet adoption, spay/neuter programs, microchipping, and crisis and disaster response. The foundation is supported by generous donors and BISSELL Inc., where every purchase saves pets. To learn more or make a lifesaving donation, visit www.bissellpetfoundation.org.
