The war began when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking 250 hostages. Of those taken captive, 58 remain in Gaza, but Israel believes 35 are dead and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there are “doubts” about the fate of several others.
Coming out this week, Chin’s third book, “Dogs of the World: A Gallery of Pups from Purebreds to Mutts,” is an ambitious attempt to introduce and illustrate every type of dog around the globe — more than 600 by her count.It is one in a slew of new books about pets, many with charming illustrations that make them especially accessible. The recent “Medieval Cats,” for instance, by Catherine Nappington, features funny cat poems, sayings and drawings from the Middle Ages. “Ursula K. Le Guin’s Book of Cats,” due out this fall, pulls together poems, musings and sketches by the science fiction writer, who died in 2018.
Speaking by phone from Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and two cats, Mambo and Shimmy, Chin said “Dogs of the World” was her most daunting project yet.“I’m counting on pet owners to be interested and would be happy to get non-pet owners interested as well,” she said. “Even if we don’t have a dog, we are in contact with them all the time.can also learn a lot.”
Chin starts with drawings of nearly 400, including better-known ones like golden retrievers, border collies, German shepherds, various terriers and poodles.
She also introduces readers to more obscure breeds: Venezuela’s official dog, the large, rugged Mucuchies; Lapponian herders; muscular white Rajapalayam, or ghost hounds, from southern India; Thai ridgebacks that are hard to find outside of Thailand; hairless Peruvian Inca orchids.
And she describes other groupings of dogs, such as those that live in communities without a specific person caring for them. She argues that these dogs are not strays because the communities watch over them, often feeding them and even giving them names.. Nesmith didn’t look the same after the injury, and Carlisle said he would withhold judgment about Game 4 until he receives more information Monday.
Nesmith landed awkwardly when he jumped to throw a pass into the corner that sailed high and wound up in the seats.After play stopped, Nesmith remained down briefly before his teammates helped him up and then motioned for the trainers help. He struggled to put weight on the leg, needed assistance to leave the court and went straight to the locker room.
