Short Synopsis
An anthology of bark-out-loud original essays about dogs from some of today's most popular writers.

Full Synopsis
Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's best known humorists—authors, comedians, and actors—to offer biting commentary on what it means to share a life, and a heart, with a dog. From battling for bed space to trying to transform a pampered NYC pup into a Texas rawhide, and from helping a shelter rescue navigate through her new life to interpreting dog run dynamics (and politics), being a canine companion has challenges as tough as any agility course, but laughter is just a tail-wag away. This collection features uncanny insight and witty prose from:

• Jen Lancaster

• Rita Mae Brown

• Laurie Notaro

• Jane Green

• Beth Harbison

• W. Bruce Cameron

• and many others, including a foreword by Chelsea Handler's dog, Chunk

"Dogs are, indeed, our best friends. This book celebrates the special---and often hilarious---bonds that develop between us. It will make you laugh, and touch your heart!" ---Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO, The Humane Society of the United States
