A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD PARODY: AN lLLUSTRATED GUIDE FOR--AND BY--DOGS, UNLOCKING THE
MYSTERIES OF DOGHOOD AND TEACHING THEM HOW TO DO THE VERY ACTIVITIES THAT HUMAN
SOCIETY SAYS ARE WRONG.
The Dangerous Book for Dogs asks a simple question: isn't there more to being a dog than wearing a
mini cashmere sweater and riding around in a $400 evening clutch? What about the simple pleasures
of life -- feeling the wind in your fur, digging up the grass beneath your paws, smelling another dog's
butt? Isn't that part of the great joy of being a dog?
Written (with help) by dogs and for dogs, The Dangerous Book For Dogs provides insight on everything
from the tastiest styles of shoes to chew to the proper method for terrorizing squirrels. It also contains
portraits of noble dogs throughout history, the mysteries of cats and humans, and everything else your
dog ever wanted to know but was afraid to ask–like how to make toys out of human's household items,
or how to escape from a humiliating reindeer costume.
Generously illustrated with drawings by cartoonist Emily Flake, this hilarious parody is for good dogs,
bad dogs, and the millions of people who love them.

poignancy, and affection, these columns provide insight into the intriguing and wonderful world we live

A pot roast left unguarded. An open bedroom door. An ill-timed squat. Dogs seem to have impeccable
timing. Yet how quickly calamity turns to comedy in the company of a dog, and the wrong moment turns
out to be just the right one.
In this delightful follow-up to Dog Is My Co-Pilot, which won the Best Book of the Year award from the
Dog Writers Association of America, the editors of The Bark bring together more stories, essays, and
artwork that highlight the hilarity of dog behavior and the comical interactions between dog people and
their four-legged friends.
From playful puppies who wreak havoc in the home to dogs with a whole array of comic shticks and
tricks, Howl celebrates the verve and the laughs pets offer their people. It includes laugh-out-loud
reflections (and confessions), rib-tickling tales, and whimsical vignettes from well-known writers such
as:
• Dave Barry
• Margaret Cho
• Al Franken
• Kinky Friedman
• Pam Houston
• Haven Kimmel
• Neal Pollack
• And many more!

All My Patients Have Tales
This is the first, and long-overdue, book of Charles-Barsotti's dog cartoons. Barsotti's distinctive round
pups,-rendered in just a few simple lines, have been delighting The-New Yorker readers for three
decades and are instantly-recognizable for their depiction of canines in human roles.-The juxtaposition
of their simple world, consisting-only of food, play, and the goings-on of their owners, with-the utterly
human tasks of going to therapy, talking-business, or seeing a lawyer, is both adorable and hilarious.-A
dog standing at a podium announces, "If elected, I-promise to beg, fetch, and roll over." An older dog
frowns-down at a young pup and says, "Don't be smug, all puppies-are cute." An angry dog with brush in
hand paints a-"BEWARE OF DOG" sign. With an irresistible blend of-biting humor and affectionate
observation, this is a perfect-gift book for dog lovers everywhere.

A hilarious, captivating commentary that gives us--finally--a true dog’s-eye view of the world.
• The Sofa: “The sofa is Position One. The sofa makes you feel as if you are with your people even when
your people are gone.”
• The Toilet: “The advantage of drinking from the toilet is that the water is always fresh.”
• The Baby: “Often known as She Who Randomly Flings Food from the Table, the baby has the most
flavorful, ever-changing face of all your people.”
“After reading You Are a Dog, you will start thinking like a dog.” --Bash Dibra, celebrity pet trainer and
author of DogSpeak
“You Are a Dog should be the talk of every dog run in the U.S. With humor, and more bite than one might
expect, Terry Bain helps us to see the world through the eyes of our dogs, and to look at their lives in
fresh and insightful ways.” --Jon Katz, author of A Dog Year, The New Work of Dogs, and The Dogs of
Bedlam Farm
“Terry Bain has cracked the canine code to demystify those charming, endearing, and occasionally
bizarre habits our beloved dogs exhibit. You Are a Dog is equal parts witty and warm, sweet and
sympathetic--read this and be destined to meet your dog at a richer, deeper level.”--Dr. Marty Becker,
veterinary contributor for Good Morning America, author of The Healing Power of Pets

You Are a Dog: Life Through the Eyes of Man's Best Friend
You think your life is crazy. Try looking at the world through your dog's big melting brown eyes. If your dog
is neurotic (and what dog isn't these days?), consider these helpful pointers:
• Don't interrupt your dog's naps—remember, he needs your bed far more than you do.
• Don't force your dog to play fetch just because you feel like it—keep in mind his busy schedule too.
• Never bark orders at your dog. "Please" and "thank you" work wonders with the neurotic dog.
• Give your dog a canine personality quiz—it's the first step before starting him on full-fledged
psychoanalysis.
• If all else fails, feed him!
Stephen Baker's delightful HOW TO LIVE WITH A NEUROTIC DOG is sure to have both you and your
canine companion rolling on the floor and begging for more.
