Eddy, a Jack Russell terrier was abandoned in San Diego in 2011. Marty is involved with dog training and rescue, so he takes Eddy on and explains what adopters should do to give a dog a forever home.
I really enjoyed reading Rescuing Eddy which had a lovely text and many, many photos. Rescuing Eddy is not a big book and only runs to 132 pages. However, what you get is a good understanding of how dogs think and how to train them.
I liked how Marty used two voices in his book. The main voice was the author’s but the other was Eddy talking back to Marty and the reader with his point of view. Listening to Marty and Eddy you learn what being a pack animal involves. Dog’s brains and memories are very different to humans as Marty nicely explains…
Dogs, on the other hand, don’t live in the past, they don’t hold grudges, and they live in the moment.
...I liked how Marty explained the psychology of dogs and how they think. This insight gives a good understanding so you can develop a loving, loyal, respect and obedient bond with your dog.
I think Rescuing Eddy is a GOOD 4 star read that is a refresher course for dog owners everywhere regardless of your pet’s breed.
Rescuing Eddy was written 2014 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
