The Hallelujah Chorus

Autor Doug Jordan
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Sequel to The Maxim Chronicles, A Year with a Champion Poodle, this book continues the story of the Jordan family and their beloved dogs who gave so much richness to their lives. Follow Hallelujah, the beautiful white bitch, as she herself goes to 'The Show', wins armfuls of ribbons and prizes, then retires to making puppies. The journey repeats as Halle's best black bitch, Valmara's Highland Fling Bonnie Doon, also wins Best Puppy in Show, and thrills her family all over again. You'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about Poodles, grooming, breeding, obedience training, encounters with vermin, and vets. But this is not just a book about dogs. It is also about people, families, and relationships, laced with irony and humour. Interspersed in all this dog lore the author explores ideas in philosophy, religion, consciousness and life. Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows already the truth of Will Rogers declaration: 'If there are no dogs in heaven, I don't want to go there.'

Notă biografică

A teacher for over twenty-nine years, Doug Jordan, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed., L.L.B., also practiced law for a few years before returning full time to his students, whom he found a great deal more interesting than his legal practice. A life-long writing enthusiast, he was an editor of the Brandon University Newspaper during his time there, and wrote and published a short book about outdoor survival. He also won first place for the Local Canadian Author's Competition for his short story, "The Man Who Was Afraid of Bridges." In 2000, he and two other authors established The Writers' Collective to support up-and-coming writers in Winnipeg. Doug has been living with Parkinson's Disease since 2011. The struggles he has faced, paired with the grief of losing his beloved wife to cancer in 2019, and trying to press on, have helped him to bring his heart to his writing. Now, none of his experiences will be forgotten. Doug lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, close to his three children and four grandchildren. In the Summer of 2020, Doug reconnected with a former student he hadn't seen in over forty years. Sidney Shapira, B.A., B.ED. had followed in Doug's footsteps, becoming a teacher, consultant, and principal, before retiring and pursuing his love of photography. The photos in this book are the product of that pursuit, and the project management and editorial skills he gained in his professional experience were invaluable to Doug as they worked together to bring this book to fruition. Sidney Shapira also lives in Winnipeg, with his wife Denise Belanger. The pair have one son who lives nearby.
