Pets Who Want to Kill Themselves

by Duncan Birmingham and Duncan Birmingham

Book Overview

PEOPLE LOVE THEIR PETS. SOME PEOPLE LOVE THEIR PETS A LITTLE TOO MUCH. Who could blame Mr. Whiskers for trying to high-dive from a penthouse window or Fluffy for crawling into a washing machine? After being dressed up for Halloween, married off in elaborate weddings, toted everywhere in baby backpacks, or just plain coddled within an inch of their sanity by obsessively doting owners, these pets are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Or worse. They'd call the suicide hotline-but they don't have fingers.

Customer Reviews

I swore I wasn't buying any more humor books until I saw this one!

I saw this book at a local bookstore and laughed so hard I had to buy a copy for myself. Now I am ordering copies for friends, whom I dearly hope will realize how they are humiliating their dogs with stupid sweaters. Funny pictures with really funny captions. Oh, and one poignant caption "In some countris I'd be dinner. Here I eat organic and have my own Twitter account. God Bless America". Well worth 1/2" on my overcrowded bookshelves. I love it.

"Howl" with Laughter

Great stocking stuffer gift! But also hilarious the whole year round!! Not mean-spirited at all. Packed with outrageous outfits on po-faced pets. The captions kill me on the website and the book just keeps the hits coming! Total fun.

Pure Entertainment!

I had to have the book after checking out the hilarious website. As a pet owner guilty of dressing my dog like an idiot on occasion, I loved the "cheeky" commentary that goes along with each picture.

Hairy Kari

The first crossover book for both crazy petowners and people who think most petowners are crazy! Hilarious stuff! If the pictures don't slay you right away, the spot-on captions will. Every page is a gut-buster. I'm buying one for every dog-owner in my family. It's cheaper than therapy.

TWISTED FUN!

I love the websitesite, so no surprise I love this little book. How do people get their pets to dress like this and do this stuff? The captions range from dark to strange to gross to a bit dirty so this book is not for little kiddies. I have a neighbor who dresses his dog in little sweaters-- I think of this book every time I see them on the street. Maybe I should intervene before it kills itself. Reminds me of the Bunny Suicides book. Overall a good stocking stuffer if you're into this kind of thing.
