fun dog book

Have this book in the house so that I can read it with my grandchildren. My husband picked it up and enjoyed reading it also. Its always fun to learn something about dogs!

LOL fun: not just for kids

Read this before giving it to my granddaughter and literally laughed out loud several times while reading it. Even though I've read several dog behavior books for adults, there was new information here for me. The author is a psychologist. The photos are great. Buy it: you'll like it.

all the better to smell you with!
