About The Book
This book presents a delightful collection of observations about having a dog from award-winning comedian/cartoonist duo Scott Dooley and Jason Chatfield. These hilarious cartoons pair New Yorker-style illustrations with relatable details about having a dog. For example, you're not a dog owner until...
- You have to nix the word "walk" from your vocabulary as if it holds dark magical powers.
- There are dog park friends who you only know by their dog’s name.
- You've had to mediate a cease-fire between your dog and the Roomba.
- Your dog has "protected you loudly" from thousands of "potential intruders" who've dared to walk past your front door (Most often during Zoom calls).
- Your dog eats a healthier, more balanced and nutrient-rich diet than you have ever eaten in your life.
- You have a voice you only use with your dog
- You also have a voice for your dog.
