Forewords: Jacky Newcomb - Sunday Times Best-selling Author "Jackie arrived at my Midlands home and didn't even need my pets in the room although one of them joined us anyway. I was stunned - It really was just like she was having a conversation with my cats and telling me their reply! The insights she brought me were so interesting and amazingly accurate. Not only did she seem to connect with them they even passed their mannerisms over to her. My two cats are very individual and her conversations demonstrated this perfectly which you will read in this very fascinating book." Jenny Smedley - TV Presenter and Author "Jackie has taken a huge step forward for those animals with this book, which will bring animal communication to the forefront - where it should be. I salute people like Jackie who are pursuing this end with dogged determination and enviable courage. Jackie has proven her abilities over and over again and I really feel this book is the one that will give her the credit she deserves. Inspiring and often breath-taking, this book will lead you on an incredible journey you'll be so glad you took." Matthew Rhys - International Actor - Films, TV and Theatre. "To hear personally what my horses wanted to share with me was astounding, incredible and something everybody should experience. These animals that we so often share our homes with, and whom we share such vast swathes of our time, know so much more than most us would ever have thought. Meeting Jackie showed and proved to me how fundamentally important this is. Its reward is immediate, apparent, and incredibly gratifying."

The scandal sheets and gossip magazines fabricate stories about who is sleeping with whom and who is getting divorced, or pregnant, or suffering from some exotic disease. Instead of depending on these very unreliable sources for her celebrity fix, psychic Lai Ubberud is going straight to a genuine source—their pets. Did you know: Tinkerbell’s disappearance may not have been an accident? El Alamein and Little Man miss their Gipper? Max is hopeful that George will find the right lady? Read, learn, and smile your way through this charming and beautifully illustrated book to see just what Paris Hilton’s delightful dog, Ronal Reagan’s regal horses, and George Clooney’s potbellied pig think about their owners’ quirks, habits, and dislikes.

Kinky Friedman is not only a man of the people, he's a man of the animal kingdom. Kinky is a man who wears many hats -- not just a Stetson. Aside from being a politico, folksinger, and mystery author, he's also a longtime animal advocate and feels as passionately about his pets as he does about legislative reform. But rather than simply write about his own experiences, why shouldn't he include a few friends? Of course, Kinky's address book is unique, and he's taken full advantage. In his new collection, Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files, the Kinkster writes about his famous friends and their pets you've never met, each with a story as delightful and offbeat as the author himself. Kinky has gathered together an eclectic and extraordinary group of talented celebrity pals to talk about the subject nearest and dearest to their hearts: their pets. With candid, personal photos of the stars and their beloved animals and insider stories to match, the book is like a party only Kinky could throw, and the results are both entertaining and endearing. It's not your average celebrity pet book, because Kinky's not your average celebrity. He's got musicians, like Johnny Cash and his pig, Brian Wilson with his dog, and Willie Nelson doing his best horse whisperer impersonation; actors and comedians ranging from Phyllis Diller with Miss Kitty to Richard Pryor on a pygmy pony; and a lineup of writers, politicians, and some heroes of the past -- Bill Clinton, Joseph Heller, and Mark Twain, to name a few. Hilarious, oddball, heartwarming, and edgy all at once, Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files is a book for animal lovers, celebrity junkies, and anyone who just likes a good story. It's a little weird, it's completely charming, and it's 100 percent Kinky.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words. When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word “outside” when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences. How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella “spoke” her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets. Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade.
