Bill Potter, once a hardworking railroad engineer, has fallen on hard times. Despite being disabled from an accident that robbed him of a life free of pain, Bill never forgets to give thanks, even for his meager meals. Without any friends but Tim, a neighborhood boy with a big heart, the old man realizes he is growing tired of his challenges in life and contemplates suicide. But all of that is about to change the day Tim leads Bill to an injured stray dog lying in an alley, seemingly left for dead. After Bill summons help from a police officer, he and the officer take the dog to a vet, where it appears the prognosis is grim. But the dog's will to live is stronger than anyone ever imagined, despite losing one of his legs. As the dog slowly improves, Bill finds a place in his heart and his home for the furry animal he names Pete. Almost immediately Bill and Pete become family and share each day with love and dedication, eventually proving that total devotion transcends even life itself. Three Pete is the unique tale of a poignant relationship between an old disabled man and a three-legged dog as they prove to each other, and the world, that there is no better love than unconditional love.

The John Wayne Code

Wit, Wisdom and Timeless Advice

By: Media Lab Books,Editors of the Official John Wayne Magazine

John Wayne was more than a movie star. He was a symbol for everything good and decent about America, inspiring everyday people to reach just a little bit more and try a little bit harder. During his 72 years and more than 150 movies, John Wayne imparted a seemingly-endless amount of advice, wisdom and good old-fashioned common sense to his fans. In The John Wayne Code, that wealth of knowledge has been collected together for the first time by the people who loved and knew him best - his family and the editors of the Official John Wayne Collector's Edition Magazine. Filled with Duke’s most insightful quotes, personal stories from his family and friends, full-color photos, and advice for how to be a better person, this stunning, gift-worthy book makes the perfect companion for any John Wayne fan who wants to make their life a little more legendary.

John Wayne is renowned as having been a larger than life, yet his personal code was a simple one of loyalty, self-reliance, grit, honesty, patriotism and generosity. John Wayne: Lessons for My Children examines how Wayne used his beliefs to raise six lively kids into successful young adults, and how those lessons might be used by readers to help guide their own sons and daughters. Packed with reminiscences and anecdotes from Duke’s children (including a foreword and an afterword), quotes and personal stories from Duke, himself, and analyses of key scenes from Duke’s films, plus hundreds of touching, rousing and inspiring photos from Duke’s family life as well as his films, John Wayne: Lessons for My Children is a perfect gift for dads and Duke fans everywhere. The book itself is a stunning handbook with glossy pages, and a leatherette cover to ensure the book lasts for years and years. The perfect impulse purchase for Father’s Day or any day.
