Miracle Dogs of Portugal leads children on a voyage of discovery to 15th century Portugal, with the almost-true story of Henry the Navigator. When Henry was just a boy he summoned his own courage to take a surprising journey where he meets a delightful cast of characters - Milagro the Miracle Dog, Diego the fisherman, a cadre of sea creatures - and discovers his own dream. This almost-true story of historical figure Henry the Navigator and the history of the Portuguese Water Dog is the first in a historical fiction series for children that explains the periods and characters of world history using dogs as the ambassador to learning. The Miracle Dog series is appropriate for ages 5-10. Though the stories are fiction, the historical accuracy and context is designed to give children both the framework and the motivation to seek out more information about the character and the period in which the story is set, while inspiring them to make miracles in their own lives.
When Friedman moved to New York City, he missed the dogs that had surrounded him growing up. He began photographing dogs on the street, and posting them on his blog, The Dogist. Whether because of the look in a dog's eyes, its innate beauty, or even the clothes its owner has dressed it in, every portrait in this book tells a story and explores the dog's distinct character and spirit.
#1 New York Times Bestseller In this pathbreaking guide, two of the world’s most popular and trusted pet care advocates reveal new science to teach us how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for our canine companions. Like their human counterparts, dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, our beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because our pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the practical, proven tools to protect our loyal four-legged companions. Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, globetrotted (pre-pandemic) to galvanize the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers; they also interviewed people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them. The Forever Dog prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction, and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. The authors discuss various types of food—including what the commercial manufacturers don’t want us to know—and offer recipes, easy solutions, and tips for making sure our dogs obtain the nutrients they need. Habib and Dr. Becker also explore how external factors we often don’t think about can greatly affect a dog’s overall health and wellbeing, from everyday insults to the body and its physiology, to the role our own lifestyles and our vets’ choices play. Indeed, the health equation works both ways and can travel “up the leash.” Medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This definitive dog-care guide empowers us with the knowledge we need to make wise choices, and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come.

This book investigates Jan Van Eyck's patronage by the Crown of Portugal and his role as diplomat-painter for the Duchy of Burgundy following his first voyage to Lisbon in 1428-1429, when he painted two portraits of Infanta Isabella, who became the third wife of Philip the Good in 1430. New portrait identifications are provided for the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) and its iconographical prototype, the lost Fountain of Life. These altarpieces are analysed with regard to King Joao I's conquest of Ceuta, achieved by his sons, who were hailed as an "illustrious generation." Strong family ties between the dynastic houses of Avis and Lancaster explain Lusitania's sustained fascination with Arthurian lore and the Grail quest. Several chapters of this book are overlaid with a chivalric veneer. A second "secret mission" to Portugal in 1437 by Jan van Eyck is postulated and this diplomatic visit is related to Prince Henry the Navigator's expedition to Tangier and King Duarte's attempts to forge an alliance with Alfonso V of Aragon. Late Eyckian commissions are reviewed in the light of this ill-fated crusade and additional new portraits are identified. The most significant artist of Renaissance Flanders appears to have been patronized as much by the House of Avis as by the Duchy of Burgundy. Barbara von Barghahn is Professor of Art History at George Washington University and a specialist in the art history of Portugal, Spain, and their colonial dominions, as well as Flanders. In 1993, she was conferred O Grao Comendador in the Portuguese Order of Prince Henry the Navigator. She has spent nearly a decade completing research about Jan van Eyck's diplomatic visits to the Iberian Peninsula.
Inside this book is a very powerful prayer to Saint Anthony that will shake your “hearts out.” Saint Anthony of Padua is also a matchmaker. For those of you who are looking for suitable partners, Saint Anthony is the way to go. Actually, this prayer was taught and given to me by my beloved mother who was a devoted Saint Anthony of Padua believer. Mom assured me that this prayer to Saint Anthony will always be heard by the Saint. It was in World War II in a jungle that two young newlyweds were hiding . They can see the marching boots of the Japanese soldiers. These soldiers held bayonets in their hands. Nearby the newlyweds was their friend who was bayoneted. It was at this time when the Japanese soldiers were approaching their exact location that the new husband saw a tall man with a brown Habit or clothing spread it out to hide these two newlyweds. Each time the Japanese soldiers will close in to these newlyweds’ hiding spot, this browned-clothed man with an almost-bald hair, very young and fair-skinned, will stand in front of them and spread his cloak or long robe around these blessed newlyweds to hide the two of them. The Japanese soldiers did not see the two newlyweds and had changed directions and went away. And these newly weds were safe. And the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua disappeared. These newlyweds were my future parents! And my beloved mother was a devotee of Saint Anthony of Padua! As a very young girl, my future mother was always wearing a brown Habit or Clothing just as Saint Anthony of Padua each time she went to church. And it was only my beloved father who saw the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua who saved them from being killed by the Japanese soldiers’ bayonets in that jungle hideaway in 1944. That hideaway jungle was now where our ancestral home was built and where we grew up. All these give me tears each time I recall these very holy and galactic events. And I, myself, have experienced so many miracles from Saint Anthony of Padua. This is precisely why this very precious book was written. My beloved parents have experienced the miraculous intervention of Saint Anthony during World War II when they were newly-married. And up to this day, Saint Anthony always runs to our rescue whenever we are looking for something. After I have said this powerful prayer to Saint Anthony, I have found this manuscript that I have been searching for. I said to Saint Anthony that if I found this very manuscript , that this was Creator Source and Saint Anthony’s sign that I will publish this miraculous book. And I have found this my manuscript that is in your hands right now!
