Lead with Your Heart: Lessons from a Life with Horses
by Allan J. Hamilton
#UL8792
Hardcover, 231 pages; 2016
$18.95
Ultimately, this book is as much about the life-enhancing lessons
we can learn from horses as it is about the most effective methods
to train them. Via short, philosophical musings, neurosurgeon and
pioneer of equine-assisted therapy Allan Hamilton illuminates the
art of horsemanship, revealing how horses (having evolved as prey
animals) think...and how their mindset differs from the human
(predator) perspective. He amiably reveals how horses
“offer us a
practical method to see meaningful alternatives to our own voracious
way of life.”
Lead with Your Heart
is delightfully inspiring—for
horse trainers, yes, but also for parents, teachers, bosses, and human beings in general!

Cat Commands Tea Towel
#UM0572 $14.95
If the idea of a “trainable” cat leaves you in stitches, our
Cat
Commands Tea Towel
will have you chuckling all the way through
breakfast! Rendered as black pen-and-ink drawings, the felines
decorating this 100% cotton towel calmly ignore common
commands—a black cat stretching languorously is captioned
“come,” a pussycat bathes her paw when told to “play dead,”
a pert white kitten looks ready to run when ordered to
“sit.” Measuring 20"x28", it’s just the thing to perk up your
kitchen…or sop up Kitty’s spilled saucer of cream!

Judy: The Unforgettable Story of the Dog Who Went to War
and Became a True Hero
by Damien Lewis
#UL0592
Paperback, 295 pages; 2015 (2014)
$14.99
An English Pointer bred and born in Shanghai in 1936, Judy was an
adventurer from the start: As a puppy, she escaped into the city streets,
surviving on a blend of luck, good sense, and rare human kindness.
So it’s no wonder that, when the crew of the HMS
Gnat
gunboat came
ashore in search of a ship’s mascot, Judy caught their eye. The resulting
story is an astonishing one, of a dog adopted as a pet who would go
on to save countless lives and endure terrible hardships, refusing to
abandon her British comrades even when they were imprisoned in
the living hell of a Japanese POW camp. For her steadfast loyalty and
unceasing courage, Judy won the Dickin Medal in 1946…and the undying love of the men whose
spirits she lifted during the darkest hours of their lives.
