A gently humorous story that is a valuable fable for pet lovers of all ages.

Adrian Raeside has created a magical tale of adventure for pet lovers of all ages in The Rainbow Bridge. Using his gift for creating spunky characters, Raeside has created a valuable fable for anyone who cherishes the companionship of a family pet.

Seven-year-old Rick and his beloved dog Koko are inseparable. They cavort in the swimming hole, chase each other through the fields, play fetch and wrestle. But their relationship changes as Koko grows old and his health declines.

With Koko's passing, Rick is devastated. But then one night, he is woken by Buster, a flatulent but well-intentioned messenger dog, who suddenly appears at the boy's bedside. Buster ferries Rick to a magical paradise for pets where Rick is reunited with Koko; it fills Rick's heart with joy. It's a place where cats burrow through fields of catnip, no couch is off-limits to dogs and frisbees are flung endlessly. This mysterious adventure is truly a holiday miracle

Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and their pets, and with marvelous illustrations, brings a gentle humour to a story that will resonate with children and pet lovers of all ages.

A dog's tail is incredibly versatile. They use them to communicate everything from the furious, full-body wiggling I'm so happy to see you I could burst to the tucked-under-the-bum N-O-O-O Is that the vet's office we're pulling up to? They also keep noses warm on cold nights and conveniently sweep food off coffee tables.

Tails Don't Lie 2 is Adrian Raeside's hilarious follow-up to the bestselling Tails Don't Lie (Harbour Publishing, 2013), collecting even more of his favourite cartoons featuring our four-legged hairy scroungers. This new volume explores important canine traits like why dogs covet the driver's seat, what would happen if dogs went on space missions (do aliens have dogs?), the humiliation of tail docking, the immense importance of trees to a dog, and the eternal question of why squirrel-chasing isn't included in dog agility courses.

Containing 340 full-colour cartoons, Tails Don't Lie 2 offers a unique window into the mind of the family pet that will have readers howling.

Dogs are tops--35 percent of Canadian households include at least one canine--and anyone who's been owned by one (yes, that's right) will tell you why: we share in each other's joy and pain; they cheer us up when we're blue; they strive to please us and are indispensable workers, serving us even at their peril; we pamper and play with them, train them and take them for walks (actually, they take us); they sleep in our beds; sit on our laps; and if we let them they will follow us to the ends of the earth. But do we really know what they think?

This collection is for anyone who has ever wondered what constitutes dog breath to a dog, the real reason why dogs hate doggie coats, or why they replaced woolly mammoths as man's best friend. The answer to the last question is that dogs shed slightly less. But for other profound, hilarious and sometimes poignant observations, like why dogs shouldn't open restaurants, or what would happen if a dog actually caught a car, readers need look no further than Tails Don't Lie--the best of Adrian Raeside's dog cartoons.

Bestselling cartoonist Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and their pets and, with marvelous illustrations, brings gentle humour to a story that will resonate with cat lovers of all ages.

Amy and Rocky are best friends, as close as a girl and a cat can be. They have been by each other's side since Amy was born, and seasons pass happily in companionship with tea parties, yarn chasing and warm naps. But as Rocky grows older, her purrs grow fainter--and one night, Rocky disappears. Amy is heartbroken until a helpful but flatulent friend of Rocky brings her to the Rainbow Bridge, a magical paradise for pets of all kinds.

There, Amy finds Rocky again and together they explore the Rainbow Bridge, a place where there are fields of catnip and cats never run out of fragile things to break, and where the feline inhabitants have formed a truce with pet birds, mice and hamsters.

Since publication in 2012, Adrian Raeside's The Rainbow Bridge: A Visit to Pet Paradise has sold over seventy-five thousand copies in Canada and the United States, providing a story that comforts children as they deal with the loss of a pet. This companion volume will have special appeal for cat lovers.

What would road rage in Beverly Hills look like? From the whimsical perspective of The Other Coast creator Adrian Raeside, it would involve a prim-and-proper hurling of a jar of Grey Poupon at the offending driver. The Other Coast: Road Rage in Beverly Hills is the first collection of Adrian Raeside's strip featuring his off-kilter view of contemporary life. Raeside's lighthearted look at culture, politics, fashion, society, and life in general is both insightful and hilarious. Whether it's taking a clever poke at our obsession with wireless phones, our inability to maintain a workout program, or the witty banter of married life, The Other Coast is a bastion of original thinking, wry wit, and out-loud laughs. Much of the humor comes at the expense of Toulose, the eccentric screenwriter, and his cause-seeking wife, Vicki. But the strip also features a colorful cast of repair people, kids, contractors, tech-support goons, agents, pets, and much more. Those enjoying strips that provide more than the same ol' schtick are sure to relish a visit to The Other Coast, where folks aren't deep enough to be shallow.

It's different over there. Everybody east of Washington, Oregon, and California knows it. But defining the West Coast as not like the East Coast leaves way too much of the story untold. No, far better to turn to Adrian Raeside's This Is Your First Rock Garden, Isn't It?, perhaps one of the most informative -and certainly funniest-explanations to ever depict the westernmost portion of our country. Raeside represents the perfect comic commentator on what makes Other Coasters tick. He was born a Kiwi, lived in England, and now resides in British -close enough for a good view without having to get mixed up in the muddle that passes for the West Coast lifestyle and its many subcultures. Instead, the cartoonist accurately sheds light and humor on residents who put their own unique spin on everything from cars and coffee to extreme sports and the latest out-there technology.

For over three decades editorial cartoonist and BC resident Adrian Raeside has trained his laser wit on a subject he knows well--the foibles of life on Canada's wet coast. From yoga devotees to redneck fishermen, political potheads to bloated bureaucrats, plus provincial pet peeves like leaky condos, ICBC premiums and smart meters, no stone is left unturned, particularly when it comes to the politically slanted stereotypes of Left Coasters.

Hot topics such as the Northern Gateway pipeline, carbon taxes and the hidden perils of electric cars are pondered alongside the subtle difference between Saskatchewan's wheat harvest and BC's second-largest industry: cannabis production. Addressing often-touchy issues with his clever and amusing West Coast characters and critters, Raeside casts his spotlight on bear awareness programs and the current role of conservation officers, the increase of wildlife-human encounters (at your local watering hole) and the lack thereof (at wilderness retreats).

This compilation of Raeside's most hilarious cartoons is sure to tickle the funny bone of anyone familiar with 'Super, Natural British Columbia' and the lifestyles of those who live there
