    There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
    In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
    It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
    One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution.

    From historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager, comes a fond, fascinating, and often surprising look at the dogs who were the best friends of the presidents, featuring unforgettable photographs. 
     
    President Biden’s German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs. Dating all the way back to George Washington, dogs have been constant companions to nearly all of America’s presidents. Of the past 46 presidents, 31 have had at least one dog at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 
    Organized by historical eras, All-American Dogs will take readers through the captivating history of the White House’s four-legged friends, the impact they had on their owner-in-chiefs, and, ultimately, American history. From the assassination of President’s Lincoln’s dog after Lincoln’s own death to President’s Hoover’s Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them. 
    As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America’s first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man’s best friend. 
    Readers will learn not only past presidents’ dogs in each historical era, but also the cultural history of dogs as pets, and the ways in which Americans’ relationships with dogs has evolved over the past two centuries. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 biographical crime film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. The movie follows the young con artist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, as he successfully impersonates various professionals, including a pilot, doctor, and lawyer, all while forging checks worth millions of dollars. Tom Hanks stars as Carl Hanratty, an FBI agent relentlessly pursuing Frank. The film explores themes of deception, identity, and the complexities of trust, blending suspense with moments of humor and emotional depth as the cat-and-mouse chase unfolds. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Cameo Appearance: The real-life Frank Abagnale, Jr. plays the French officer who arrests Frank on Christmas Eve, 1969.” 
      
    “The FBI agent that pursued Frank Abagnale, Jr., and inspired the character of Carl Hanratty was Joe Shea. Frank Abagnale used the pseudonym "Sean O'Reilly" in his book because Joe Shea was still working in the FBI at that time.” 
      
    “Contrary to what is shown in the movie, Frank Abagnale never had a personal relationship with any FBI agents, nor did he contact them every Christmas. As he points out, "Why would I do that? I didn’t want them to know where I was." 
      
    “Initially, Frank Abagnale didn’t believe Leonardo DiCaprio was "suave" enough to portray him, until he saw the actor's performance.”
