Product Description: Dogs Don't Cry Tears is a biographical story of a globe-trotting German Shepherd with the odd name Quinky. Born in North Africa, Quinky was one of the descendants of German Shepherds left behind by German officers, under the command of General Rommel, known as "The Desert Fox," after they had to flee the country. Along with his sister, Ginny, Quinky was adopted by the author and her husband as pups.
At first Quinky and Ginny lived in a doggie paradise. But then destiny struck, the author and her husband had to move to the United States and everything began to change. During the waiting period, while in care of hired caretakers, Ginny was killed by a scorpion, and Quinky was close to death in his despair.
In a dramatic rescue action by the author's European family, a director of Lufthansa and a newspaper reporter Quinky made a lonely, solitary 18-hour flight from Africa to Europe for a temporary stay with the author's mother and sister in Europe, who had no idea what they were getting into by taking this totally uneducated German Shepherd into their home. After a broken finger, court cases, training school and a diploma, Mr. Me-Me-Me became a civilized citizen of the United States upon his return to the author.
Nonetheless, this former, me-me-me egotistical monster had dramatically changed his aggressive behavior once he understood the tragic story of his new neighbor's dog, a sweet little dog was chained-up outside, day and night, almost freezing to death. This pivotal event in both Quinky's and the author's lives changed not only his behavior, but the author's view about dogs forever.
Eleonora De Lennart reaches into the soul, heart and mind of a dog. In a most enjoyable way, the book reads like a story about the destiny of an owner and her dog, yet it is enhanced by scientific facts. "Quinky is my destiny dog," says Eleonora De Lennart. "- he changed my life, even my career-he made me realize my mentor was correct when saying "dogs are scientists in our language."
Through numerous fascinating, heartwarming and sometimes humorous stories about Quinky's doggie-friendships you'll encounter Cleopatra and Girly, Mienchen and Cicci, Rex and Lissy. That are the lucky dogs in the world. But you will also read about dogs that are not so lucky. Dogs like Lucky and Bongy who did'nt even have a name, before being rescued from the hands of brutal owners.
Dogs Don't Cry Tears is the advocacy for people to understand the advanced mind of a dog. You will discover that dogs feel sorry and guilt, that they can laugh and cry-but, unfortunately, not in a human's perception of crying-because Dogs Don't Cry Tears.
