Welcome To The Official
Website For The
Lucas Terrier Club
of America!
There are their individuals trying to sell cheap Lucas Terriers that may or may not really be true Lucas Terriers. BUYER BEWARE! PURCHASE ONLY FROM ETHICAL CLUB CLUB MEMBERS WHO ABIDE BY OUR STRICT CODE OF ETHICS AND ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING BREED BETTER -- NOT MAKING A DOLLAR. We are aware of horror stories of "breeders" who are not members of our club, who have closely interbred dogs and ended up with some very sick and crippled dogs. It not worth the heartache. If it sounds to good to be true...it probably is. When in doubt -- send an email to the club and make sure you are dealing with a reputable, committed, club member.
10. Doggone But Not Forgotten by Cynthia Selwyn. For the kindle owner who loves dogs as I believe it is an ebook only. This warranted a four star rating from me. It’s funny, cute, and def aimed at those who love dogs.
9. Race Across Alaska: First Woman to Win the Iditarod Tells Her Story by Libby Riddles. For the reader who likes to read nonfiction, prefers strong females, and has an interest in dog racing and Alaska. Title is self explanatory.
8. Amazing Gracie by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff. Cute nonfiction about how two guys with a finicky dog started Three Dog Bakery.
7. Dogs Don’t Lie by Clea Simon. For the mystery and dog lover. This is basically a whodunit, but with a twist. The twist being that animals are the key behind figuring out the mystery. Pru is a “dog whisperer” who hears what the animals are saying, but doesn’t always interpret what she’s hearing in the right way. Superb book with the exception of a messy love triangle type thing involving half the town.
6. You Had Me At Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness by Julie Klam. A memoir told by a woman who fell in love with a Boston Terrier and started a rescue. Lots of funny and sad moments. That’s the life of a pet owner…
5. A Dog Named Slugger by Leigh Brill. A dog helps a woman with ceberal palsy. Who says a woman needs a man? Sometimes all she needs a good dog. A very enlightening read about what it’s like to live with the disease, how people treat you, and what a service dog has to do to make life easier.
4. Bad to the Bone by Bo Hoefinger. Funniest book I read in the year 2010. Told from a dog’s point of view, these are his memoirs from puppyhood in a shelter in New York all the way to adulthood with a loving family consisting of a mom, dad, another dog and a cat with constant constipation in Atlanta, Georgia. Just hilarious. I’ll say no more.
3. Finding Jack by Gareth Crocker. A fictional story about a soldier in Vietnam and how a dog helps in more ways than one.. Fabulous tribute to the little acknowledged and left behind Vietnam military dogs. For that dog loving soldier in your life…
2. Stay by Allie Larkin. Fiction about a chick who has hit rock bottom. The only man she’s ever loved is marrying her best friend and only a great dog can help her through it. (Accidentally purchased online after way too much vodka intake.) Funny and heartwarming. Seriously.
1. Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee. This is the most unique dog book I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Bad man dies. Grim Reeper gives him another chance… but as a dog. Is he any better as a dog than he was as a man? The story follows his widow, Emily’s point of view as she tries to pick up the pieces with pesky little Einstein in tow…
