| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 2003 time(s) |
This is the story of how my escapologist dog Ash, an 11 week old Siberian Husky puppy made me believe Sibes could fly.
Well how else could a 7kg puppy can defeat a 6' 2" custom-built hardwood double-screwed fence, 3' 3" of dog mesh and 3 courses of
bricks buried underneath the entire fence perimeter? |

| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 1554 time(s) |
While we all take it for granted that other human beings understand what 'No' means,
it's sometimes not that simple with dogs. There are some good reasons why 'No' to
a dog might not always mean what we think it does and it's all to do with timing. |

12 | The Zen of Training |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 1456 time(s) |
What I love most about dog training is how everything is
connected, as connected as all our human behaviours and
experiences and methodologies are. It poses a huge
challenge. I think of any dog being like a big jigsaw puzzle
whose behaviours have to be unravelled to work out how they
fit together into what we call personality. |

17 | Eight Below a Mushed See? |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 1635 time(s) |
Whilst Eight Below has proved a controversial release among members of the online dog lover and rescue community, the perception that it will lead to a spate of Siberian Huskies dumped in pounds and shelters is perhaps undeserved and audiences might do best to sit back and simply enjoy this tale of survival and adventure in the true Disney tradition, and reach for the tissues instead of the protest banner as the film nears its Australian release date. |

18 | Shelley's Lament - How the Story Ends |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 1459 time(s) |
When Shelley's story was first released on 1st March 2006, driven by a publication deadline, her fate and future were then as yet unknown, and as a rescue dog saved from death row in Sydney, Australia, she had not yet found her new permanent home. In the weeks following her first article Shelley continued her journey back to full health and found a family that would love her and care for her as her new forever home. This second article completes her story. |

19 | For the Genteel Sled Dog |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 1462 time(s) |
Sam is not the kind of Husky that runs and jumps or exerts himself, or you know, does stuff.
He's far too superior, a dog of gentle birth, the kind of dog who likes his kibble served promptly
at eight and prefers sleeping centre of the bed than to one side, seeing how it's infinitely comfier that way. |

20 | The Rescue Renaissance |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 4103 time(s) |
(July 2006) This is a story about the facts of life inside Siberian husky rescue in
Sydney, Australia. Even though most people know what pounds are and
what can happen inside them behind closed doors, the journey a rescue dog takes through
shelters and pounds starts long before that and ends long after it,
and along the way is bounced and buffeted by society and politics in a way that is
sometimes startling. The reality of life in rescue is something that you can sometimes only
learn through experience. |
