Petey The Puppy

Petey the Puppy collects material to build his own little house.

Petey the puppy has one wish for Christmas: to have a boy of his very own. But boys are in short supply this year, and he can't seem to find one who is just right!

When Petey the puppy decides he wants a boy for Christmas, he discovers that he must go out and find one on his own.

Petey and Pussy, John Kerschbaum’s new graphic novel, reads very much like a Looney Tunes cartoon―if all of the anthropomorphic animals were kvetching, balding, foul-mouthed misanthropes. Each character is articulate (and, in fact, can speak directly to humans, well enough to order a beer) but still recognizably have the traits associated with their respective species: Pete, the dog, is happy-go-lucky; Pussy, the cat, is self-centered; and Bernie, the bird, is high-strung and constantly a-twitter. Together, they are the pets of a sweet old lady whose obliviousness to the lunacy unfolding around her is second only to her own hygienic repugnance. The Sisyphean struggles of the characters is brought to the fore―the cat is compelled to try and catch the mouse, the bird struggles to escape his cage―as the trio engage in slapstick adventures that are simultaneously given an edge and made hilarious by a twisted combination of mundane realism and insouciant gross-out humor. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.9px Arial; color: #424242}

Petey loves to help his family, but he can't climb trees, so while the family builds a playhouse Petey tries to keep busy and ends up in some big trouble, soaking his best friend, Vesters the cat who hates water, and tangling with a big yellow bumble bee named Charlie who ends up losing his temper. Come along with the Lamb Family pets for some rip-roaring fun.

Matt and Petey are a young gay couple in love. A Dom/sub couple. An Owner and his pup. In Puppy Love 2, they begin to build a life together, forming a family with another D/s couple, Alex and Drew. Trouble lies ahead, and the emergence of Petey's sociopathic nemesis Ryan Connors heightens the drama. Will Matt and Petey's love be strong enough to weather the storm?

Nothing's sweeter and better to help a child say "good night" than this endearing, charmingly illustrated tale of a boy trying to convince his dog to take a nap. Just like a loving parent, he places Petey the pup into his doggie bed, gives the animal his own stuffed toy to curl up with, wraps the pooch in a soft, warm blanket, and promises him a snack and a trip to the park when he wakes. But Petey has things other than sleep on his mind--and soon the smart dog has turned the tables on the tired little boy. The final image of the puppy playing while his owner sleeps will delight both children and their parents.

In 1922 Petey, who has cerebral palsy, is misdiagnosed as an idiot and institutionalized; 60 years later, still in the institution, he befriends a boy and shares with him the joy of life. An ALA Best Book For Young Adults for 1999.

In what promises to become an "Omnivore's Dilemma" for dog lovers—breed devotees and adoption advocates alike—The Dog Merchants is the first book to explain the complex and often surprisingly similar business practices that extend from the American Kennel Club to local shelters, from Westminster champions to dog auctions.Without judging dog lovers of any stripe, The Dog Merchants makes it clear that money spent among these dog merchants has real-world effects on people and canines. Kavin reveals how dog merchants create markets for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed light on an industry that most people don't even realize is an industry.Kavin’s goal is to advance the conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal can be improved by understanding the business practices behind selling dogs of all kinds. Instead of pitting rescue and purebred people against each other, The Dog Merchants shows how all dog lovers can come together, with one voice as consumers, on behalf of all our beloved companions.
