    AUDREY HEPBURN 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    Audrey Hepburn, born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, was a British actress and humanitarian recognized as a film and fashion icon. She rose to stardom with Roman Holiday (1953), winning an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her performance. Hepburn's notable films include Sabrina, Funny Face, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Later in life, she dedicated herself to UNICEF, working in impoverished communities. She was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work. Hepburn was known for her unique style, often wearing simple, elegant silhouettes designed by Givenchy. She was considered one of the most beautiful women of all time, and remains a style inspiration. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Audrey Hepburn's father, Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston, changed his surname to Hepburn-Ruston because he mistakenly believed he was descended from James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. He may have done this at the insistence of Audrey's mother in order to appear more aristocratic. 
      
    In the mid-1930s, Audrey's parents were involved with the British Union of Fascists, with her mother even meeting Adolf Hitler and writing favorably about him. However, her mother's views changed after her uncle was executed for resistance activities in 1942. 
      
    During the German occupation of the Netherlands, Audrey used the name Edda van Heemstra because her English-sounding name was considered dangerous. She also gave silent dance performances that raised money for the Dutch resistance.

    After a decade of guiding people who've just added a puppy to the family, dog trainer Kathy Callahan has learned a fundamental truth: at some point every one of them feels overwhelmed. When they seek out expertise, they're flooded with impossibly detailed advice, conflicting opinions, and a surprising number of techniques that seem unkind. 
     
     
     
    In contrast, Callahan reassures owners that success flows not from nailing an intimidating list of disciplinary tactics, but from adopting a mindset of "trusted guide" rather than "master." The key to great training is recognizing that we have essentially kidnapped these puppies from their own vastly different culture. Using an easy-to-grasp "Planet Dog/Planet Human" concept, Callahan dives into the essentials, including how to prepare your house (and yourself) for puppyhood; potty training, chewing, jumping, and other challenges; how to train with fun, not fear; navigating puppyhood with young kids, cats, and/or other dogs; and what to do if there's household disagreement on things like whether dogs belong on furniture. 
     
     
     
    In engaging chapters filled with empathy for both the beleaguered humans and their confused puppies, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog paves the way for a rewarding friendship between a relaxed, well-prepared human and a canine family member who's happily at ease in our world.
