Top Dog

By Norman Thelwell

Book Overview

A hilarious canine compendium, essential for new and experienced dog owners alike. As every experienced dog owner knows, man’s best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts, and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realize, however, just what a responsibility they are taking on. So Norman Thelwell has kindly provided them with this invaluable handbook full of advice on choosing, training, feeding, exercising, and caring for our four-legged friends. It also emphasizes the importance of protecting one’s own interests—not to mention those of one’s neighbors—for an ill-trained hound will soon develop a healthy disrespect for law and order. Here is a superb cartoon collection designed to give every dog owner a new leash of life in the canine world.

The dog psyche explained .. in pictures for human comprehension

This was a gift from a wonderful friend and fellow canine appreciator. Simply, Thelwell is a comic genius. Those of us who support dogs (ownership is not an appropriate term) know how accurately some of these situations are depicted. Dogs are many things. But not stupid. If you are tempted to question this, just remember who goes out to earn the money to buy the food to feed the dog. I rest my case.
