SCOUT
APRIL 2016
AGED 1¾ YRS
Scout was an underdog. Captured or surrendered (his records were lost) to the animal shelter in Madera county, CA at the age of 1 year and 6 months. A big boned dog, he had knocked over the Rescue Organization’s desk containing their administrative paperwork, resulting in most of the line of waiting new dog owners to walk away. He was the only dog there! By the end of the day, everyone was gone except for the Volunteers...and that one dog. Then an old Hunter walked up to one of the Volunteers and said, “Now... what are you going to do?” The disheartened Volunteer sadly looked down nodding her head, then upwards gently rolling her tearful eyes as she did so, and replied in a low voice, close to a whisper, “I guess we’ll just have to take him back and have him retrained.” The old hunter tightened up his jaw, grunted, took out his wallet, then handed the requested $300 for the dog. He immediately named him Scout, because that’s the name people often mistakenly called Sport, his old hunting partner, now gone. Sport had been his son’s dog which had been raised from a 12 week old pup, when the son went into the army, within months of getting the dog, the old hunter inherited him, becoming his first hunting dog and a relationship which lasted nearly 15 years.
Scout would be the old hunter’s first adopted (rescue) dog, and for nearly a decade, these two would hunt and explore most of California, eventually exploring all 48 of the continental United States, all guided by only a traditional paper map and the truck’s compass.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
