Goats: A Novel
by: Poirier, Mark Jude
An oddly compelling story of two men, one a teenager, the other about
40, both committed adolescents. Fourteen-year-old Ellis lives with his
mom in suburban Tucson, Arizona. Goat Man is, for lack of a better definition,
their pool man. He takes care of the pool and the garden, and "in
exchange, Ellis's languid mother Wendy gave him food, the pool house,
and a meager salary. She also provided him with a place to keep his goats."
When he's not caring for his herd, Goat Man spends his off hours growing
pot and getting high. And every so often, he heads into the desert for
a trek with the goats, walking at night in the cool dark. In many of these
pursuits--especially the getting high part--he is joined by the confident,
easygoing Ellis. This apprenticeship is interrupted only when Ellis heads
off to Gates Academy, the Pennsylvania prep school attended by his absentee
father. The novel then follows him as he journeys from his unconventional
home into the real world. 355 pgs.

Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood
by: Montgomery, Sy
A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures
in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with
animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet
who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings.
Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood,
would not only survive but flourish. Sy reveals what she and others learned
from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig - lessons about
self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the
pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that
with love, almost anything is possible. 245 pgs.

chapters address the use of guardian dogs; these chapters explain how
to evaluate, train, understand, and socialize these hardworking canines,
along with info on guardian breeds from around the world. Additional chapters
on livestock guardian donkeys and llamas help readers select and train
