Summary:

Written by a dog, and with helpful additions by other dogs, How to Be a Dog is essential reading not only for all canines but also for their owners and dog lovers, providing an insight into their pet's sometimes curious behaviour.

As you'd expect from a book written by a dog about humans, this book is irreverent, cynical and disrespectful. Dogs provide helpful observations and advice on specific issues: for example, how to retain any semblance of self-esteem while wearing the 'Cone of Shame' anti-scratch collar or how to really frustrate your owner when playing 'fetch'.

How to Be a Dog
is the official rulebook of the doggie world – a hilarious guide for living with – or putting up with – humans, and always getting the upper hand (or paw).

About the Author:

Maxwell Woofington

A pedigree cocker spaniel, Maxwell Woofington sees himself less as Man's Best Friend and more as his very cynical and irreverent acquaintance. Max wrote How to Be a Dog by drawing on his seven years of experience as a pet and the invaluable insights of his many canine pals. Practising what he preaches, Max continues to be the alpha male of the Leigh family with whom he lives in Surrey, England. This is the first book he's written (although he's chewed many more).
