Handling Rudy is a discovery story about what it's like to train, compete, win and lose with a field trial dog among the marsh vistas, spot tailed bass, shrimp boils and boiled peanuts of the Low Country of South Carolina. Just like there's more to the Low Country than shrimp and boiled peanuts, there is more to Rudy's story than field trials. This is the story about how one man handled one dog; in competition, in life and ultimately in death. Readers comments include: “I can’t remember when I’ve cried more. Though sad, it was the greatest love story and beautifully told, emulating the bond between a man and his dog. It made me realize that one story evolves from each of our lives. Perhaps our job is to find it. And, if we are lucky enough, to tell it. “Handling Rudy” is the greatest story I’ve every read, barring the story of Christ which also is a story about a life for a life. It is a story of sacrificial, unconditional and submissive love. Now I know why God created animals and gave us dominion over them. To teach us love.” -VR “Really enjoyed the book. Nothing quite like the bond you form with your working dog. You have been really lucky to have had that special experience with Rudy.” -SH “A pleasantly disturbing man/dog story. Imagine a hybrid of Forest Gump and A Christmas Story only with the main character being a bird dog.” -JS. "When Rudy ran, I felt like I was there, on the field with him. You can almost taste the tension!" -RH. All proceeds from "Handling Rudy" go to the Blue Ridge Humane Society, a non-profit, 501c3 animal welfare organization.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A REAL-LIFE DISASTER MOVIE: A minute-by-minute account of 2 simultaneous catastrophes during a 1982 blizzard--and the extraordinary courage of civilians and first responders For fans of Deep Survival and Adam Higginbotham's Midnight in Chernobyl and Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space Dedicated to first responders and every person who steps up to act when it matters. More than 40 years before a Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with American Airlines Flight 5342 over the Potomac River, a desperate race against time took place nearby in overwhelming conditions. Washington, DC, was in the grips of a historic snowstorm on January 13, 1982 that gridlocked the city when Air Florida 90 crashes into a bridge jammed with traffic and plunges into the iced-over Potomac River. 6 people survive the crash, clinging to wreckage in the icy river as a Park Police helicopter risks a daring rescue in nearly whiteout conditions. As the rescue is taking place, DC's Metro system suffers its first fatal derailment nearby, with dozens injured. In this page-turning drama, journalist and former firefighter/EMT Bruce Goldfarb recreates the harrowing struggles for survival and acts of incredible courage. Told through the eyes of survivors, firefighters, police, and bystanders, many of whom have never before shared their stories, Goldfarb explores the day's impact on these participants as well as on the resulting aviation and transit safety measures that have protected us over the decades.
