Excellent Book with Valuable Content - How to Educate Dog Owners

This is a really neat book written from a Dog's point of view. It is not "fluff" as the other reviewer thinks, it is a cleverly written source of information on how to select and care for and train a dog. This is told from the dog's point of view so that the dog is selecting and training the human. Dog and human behavior, like dog-dog and dog-human interactions, are described. If everyone's dog and human learned these things, the world would be a better place for all of us! How many times have you have someone's dog jump on you or go after your dog, not to mention humans in cities who don't pick up their dog's poos. If all dog owners learned from this book, dogs and people would be much better off. A really good and funny book! Excellent subtle and humorous tips for dog owners!

lived up to expectations

this book was cute, fluffy and not too substance-heavy...just what i expected. that said, it was cleverly written from a dog's perspective and made a great gift for my dog-obsessed mom. great gift for a dog lover with a sense of humor
