Steve Duno Books

When Steve Duno found a puppy – flea-bitten and emaciated – on a Californian roadside, he had no idea what he was letting himself in for. Lou, as he called the dog, was the offspring of marijuana farm guard dogs; a half-Rotweiller, half-Alsatian bundle of intelligence, loyalty, and mischief. Despite his traumatic beginnings, Lou went on to achieve great things, from foiling an armed robbery and fighting kidnappers, to comforting elderly war veterans and Alzheimer's patients. Most importantly, he inspired his owner to become a pet behaviourist, and worked with him to rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs that would otherwise have been put to sleep. With a vocabulary of over 200 words, there was never any doubt that Lou was smart. But he was also funny, heroic, and, for 16 years, Steve's best friend and companion. This is their story.

Nie war es einfacher, mehr zu wissen: Das „Einsteiger- Handbuch Golf“ beginnt bei den Grundlagen und führt Schritt für Schritt zu umfangreichem Wissen und Können. Fundierte Informationen und ein innovatives Lernkonzept lassen jeden Interessierten schon bald zum Golf-Experten werden.

Lou non è un cane come gli altri. Sventa rapine, porta conforto ai veterani di guerra e ai malati di Alzheimer, aiuta a riabilitare cani aggressivi e a salvarli dalla soppressione. Nato come cane da guardia nelle coltivazioni di marijuana californiane, Lou è soltanto un cucciolo malridotto, pieno di pulci e ferite quando Steve lo trova sul ciglio della strada in una giornata d'inverno. Intenerito, lo prende con sé. È l'inizio di un'intensa e leale amicizia lunga sedici anni, un'inesauribile lezione di vita per Steve che imparerà proprio da Lou a credere in se stesso e a non arrendersi mai.
