Dog-man by Louise Roke

Gaz is the dog-man; he is the leader of the pack; proving that you don’t need to be loud, obnoxious or a bully to take control. I call him the dog whisperer but he refers to himself as the dog screamer. However, as you will hear he is a gentle Englishman who somehow has ended up with a pack of dogs that he entertains for their absent owners. He hasn’t got a loud bone in his body. He is sometimes too gentle for his own good, never being able to say no when asked to dog-sit. Gaz goes out of his way to make dogs and people happy. Almost too happy that Gaz the gentle dog-man hasn’t had a day off in years, literally! Tune in to the story of Gaz his daily life; if you ever thought it was an easy job think again as occasionally things really do go to the dogs!

Learn From Your Dog - Author Unknown

When loved ones come home always run to greet them

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy

When it’s in your best interest practice obedience

Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory

Take naps

Stretch before rising

Run romp play daily

Thrive on attention and let people touch you

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do

On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass

On hot days drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree

When you are happy dance around and wave your entire body

No matter how often you’re scolded don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout

Run right back and make friends

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm

Stop when you have had enough

Be loyal

Never pretend to be something you are not

If something you want lies buried; dig until you find it

When someone is having a bad day sit, be silent sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
