the camel has fascinated
so many cultures,

Giant George: Life With The
Biggest Dog In The World By
Dave Nasser And Lynne
Barrett-Lee, Nature Mammals
Book

In 2006, Dave and
Christie Nasser welcomed
a Great Dane puppy into
their lives - the runt of
a litter of thirteen who
won over the hearts of
his new owners with his
soulful blue eyes. They
named him George and he
swiftly changed their
lives. In February 2010
George was officially
crowned tallest dog ever
by the Guinness Book of
World Records. Standing
at almost five feet tall
and seven feet long,
George has come to
dominate the Nassers'
home. He has grown from a
quivering misfit into a
goofy giant - eager to
play with everyone and
boisterous to the point
of causing chaos. Yet
George is a big softie -
a gentle giant frightened
of water, of dogs a
fraction of his size,
and of being left alone.
This is the full
heart-warming story of
Dave and Christie's life
with George - his likes
and dislikes, his diet,
habits and quirks. It's
also the story of their
love for each other, of
their struggle to start a
family and of how they've
had to adapt their home
to accommodate their
extraordinary pet. With
appearances on Oprah,
and George gaining
worldwide attention,
it's now time to tell the
full story of what it's
like to be the owners of
the biggest dog in the
world. The size of this
book is 21.8cm in height
and 14.4cm wide with 262

A Dog's Life By Martin Clunes,
Nature: Mammals Book

Martin Clunes is happy to
admit that with Mary, it
was love at first sight;
her soft, brown eyes,
her perfect figure and
that unstoppable wagging
tail. As cocker spaniels
go, she was perfect. It
is a love that has taken
them through puppy
classes to the local dog
show, a move to the
country and even visits
from a dog psychologist,
and has often caused
Martin to wonder: Where
the hell did you come
from? To find a
satisfying answer to that
question, Martin
embarked on a worldwide
quest to look into the
history of dogs, and
link the pampered pets of
today with their wild
ancestors painted dogs in
Tanzania, dingoes in
Australia and wolves in
Yellowstone National
Park, USA. He also
explores how humans have
shaped the dog breeds of
today, visiting the
Beverly Hills Mutt Club
and meeting working dogs
in several countries
police dogs, hunting
hounds and sled dogs.
Accompanied by his
stunning photography,
Martins account of his
discoveries, told with
his trademark warmth and
humour, is compelling
and full of surprises.
One thing is certain: at
the end of this
fascinating journey,
Martin will never look at
his own dogs in the same
way again. The size of
this book is 24cm in
height and 16cm wide with

delights that can be read
from cover to cover, or

Colette once said 'there
are no ordinary cats',
and Cats' Miscellany is
the book to prove her
right. It is a
