  Are you considering a Psychiatric Assistance Dog - or simply curious about what life with one looks like? You're not alone. And that's why I wrote Hedwig for the Win! Life with a Psychiatric Assistance Dog. 
  This is the story of Hedwig, my golden Labrador, and how he turned from 'just a dog' into my lifeline. With honesty, warmth and a dose of Labrador humour, I share what it's really like to partner with a Psychiatric Assistance Dog - from the practical (Public Access Tests, travel, endless dog hair) to the profound (finding calm in chaos, surviving panic attacks, rediscovering freedom). 
  This isn't a sugar-coated tale. It's real, sometimes messy, often funny and always hopeful. 
  Whether you're considering a Psychiatric Assistance Dog, already on the journey, or just love a good dog story, this book will remind you that courage can be quiet, and healing might have four paws. 
  Hedwig's thought: 'Start every chapter with a snack; end every chapter with a nap. Boom! Bestseller.

  Raising Wild - Dispatches from a...

  Combining natural history, humor, and personal narrative, Raising Wild is an intimate exploration of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert, the wild and extreme land of high desert caliche and juniper, of pronghorn antelope and mountain lions, where wildfires and snowstorms threaten in equal measure. 
  Michael Branch “earned his whiskers” in the Great Basin Desert of northwestern Nevada, in the wild and extreme landscape where he lives off the grid with his wife and two curious little girls. Shifting between pastoral passages on the beauty found in the desert and humorous tales of the humility of being a father, Raising Wild offers an intimate portrait of a landscape where mountain lions and ground squirrels can threaten in equal measure. With Branch’s distinct lyricism and wit, this exceedingly barren landscape becomes a place resonant with the rattle of snakes, the plod of pronghorn antelope, and the rustle of juniper trees, a place that is teeming with energy, surprise, and an endless web of connections. Part memoir, part homage to an environment all-to-often brushed aside as inhospitable, Raising Wild offers an intergenerational approach to nature, family, and the forgotten language of wildness.
