Jennifer Arnold
Through a Dog's EyesJennifer Arnold, founder and executive director of Canine Assistants, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing service dogs for people with disabilities, educates and inspires in this transformative guide to training and celebrating service animals. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 16, Arnold was encouraged by her father to start an organization devoted to helping people with physical disabilities. Now after 20 years of dog training, she shares her methodology and stories of canine intelligence, sensitivity, language comprehension, and prescience bordering on telepathy. In her new book Through a Dog's Eyes, she offers shining examples of the heroism of service dogs, from anticipating seizures to resetting a ventilator switch. Along the way, she emphasizes choice-based, positive-reinforcement-only teaching methods and shares valuable insights that every dog owner should know. George Lopez
Good and longtime friend of the show George Lopez spent six years living his dream of working in television, starring in the successful sitcom "George Lopez" on ABC. But now that its run is over and has moved on to syndication, George was able to set his sights on other projects, including a number of feature films and his newest gig hosting his own late night talk show, "Lopez Tonight." But this isn't your cookie cutter late night fare, George has ditched the desk, tossed the cue cards and brought the party back to late night on TBS. The show is part talk show, part spontaneous street party featuring many of the biggest names of today and tomorrow. But no matter what happens, as long as George is involved, you know it'll be the talk around the water cooler.
