Product Description

Dogs might not be able to laugh at, let alone read The Daring Book For Dogs, but their 73 million owners certainly can.

* Perfect go-to gift for dog owners, especially when one considers that the most recent National Pet Owners Survey found 8 out of 10 dog owners purchase and receive dog gifts for both a dog's birthday and regular (human) holidays

`This goofy, gleeful guide to the dog life will tickle anyone with a soft spot for canines.'

From Publishers Weekly
From Publishers Weekly
This gentle parody of the bestselling Dangerous Book for Boys-identical in look and tone to its source material-offers an often funny, surprisingly insightful take on dog behavior that's sure to resonate with the Spot set. With the "assistance" of their human companions, canine authors Rex and Sparky relate practical and authoritative information on topics simple (baths, fleas, bones, poop, "things you can chase") and complex: the rules of fetch (it's not officially over until a player earns 17,572 points), tips on crotch sniffing (under the heading "How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot") and a critical guide to frequently ingested items (vomit and poop receive top marks; rocks and keys rank considerably lower). Among more than 50 short entries, the authors seem to have thought of everything, including escape tips for humiliating costumes, stirring true stories ("Great Dog Battles-Part Two: Pepper vs. A Patch of Light") and even a report on Pavlov (written by his two dogs). Though it occasionally pushes the envelope of good taste ("mounting a bitch is never as simple as it seems"), this goofy, gleeful guide to the dog life will tickle anyone with a soft spot for canines.

From the Publisher
The Dangerous Book for Boys tapped into a male desire to recapture a back-to-basics sense of fun. Now, a boy's sense of fun is perfectly fine, but a dog's sense of fun is hilarious. Leg-humping, bottom-sniffing and tail-chasing - these are not just the bedrock of dog life; they are the bedrock of comedy

Customer Reviews

Enter the mind of the pooch!
We loved this. It's a fun, quick read, kinda nice for reading snippets out on Christmas day. Don't expect an indepth read... but I think you'll know that already!

The rules for 'fetch' are a revelation!!
