Undeniable Solidarity tells the story of our long partnership with dogs from the first friendly wolves who guarded our sleep during the Stone Age to their roles today as our best friends, trusted and joyful pets, and their service as therapy, detection, and rescue dogs. Dogs and humans have lived together for thirty thousand years, and they have changed us as much as we have changed them. Based on author David Hagner’s work as a rehabilitation counselor with therapy and service dogs, drawing on information from archaeology, world mythology, sleep science, dog behavior, and philosophy and enlivened with stories of the role dogs have played in the lives of famous historical figures, Undeniable Solidarity revolutionizes our understanding of the bond between dogs and humans and gives us a deeper appreciation of our partner species.

Once I was a skinny redhead with a dog called Stinky and a lot of things to find out. Then I met Kite. Kite showed me how to be an acrobat, and I showed him some stuff too. Because I'm always having ideas. I can't help it. Like it was my idea to make a circus with all the others, but, to tell you the truth, I don't know whose idea the kiss was. Some things just happen. Some things are glorious and make you feel like you might just fall in love and some things are terrible, like what happened at the rehearsal. Kite looked at me and I knew a terrible terrible thing was about to happen. I'd better tell you the whole story Cedar B. Hartley - the original, irrepressible, and potentially infamous - is pulled between a glamorous high-flying dream and her own circus of friends, in this funny, wise, exhilarating story. Praise for The Slightly True Story of Cedar B. Hartley (who planned to live an unusual life): Once in a while you read a book so perfect you can't imagine it being written any other way (it) is very funny, deeply moving and just about all you could ask for in a novel for children, or adults come to that ' Philip Ardagh in the Guardian UK

Monty was just like any other dog. A scruffy and irascible Maltese terrier, he enjoyed barking at pugs and sniffing at trees. But after yet another dramatic confrontation with the local Rottweiler, Anthony McGowan realises it’s high time he and Monty had a chat about what makes him a good or a bad dog. And they don’t stop at ethics. Taking his cue from Monty’s canine antics, McGowan leads us on an enlightening jaunt through the world of philosophy. Will Kant convince Monty to stop stealing cheesecake? How long will they put up with Socrates poking holes in every argument? Do they have free will to pursue answers to these questions? Join the dutiful duo as they set out to uncover who – if anyone – has the right end of the ethical stick and can tell us how best to live one’s life. But there is also a shadow over their conversations. Monty is not well… And so towards the end the biggest questions raise their heads: is there a God? Does life have a meaning? By the time of their last walk together, Monty – and the reader – will find that they have not just solved a few philosophical puzzles, but absorbed much of the history of Western philosophy.
