They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti. Little, Brown & Company. Amazon customer rating: 5 stars (8 reviews). Kindle edition $9.99. Text-to-Speech: Enabled. Optimized for Kindle DX.
"Barsotti's distinctive round pups, rendered in just a few simple lines, have been delighting The New Yorker readers for three decades and are instantly-recognizable for their depiction of canines in human roles. The juxtaposition of their simple world, consisting only of food, play, and the goings-on of their owners, with-the utterly human tasks of going to therapy, talking-business, or seeing a lawyer, is both adorable and hilarious. ...an irresistible blend of-biting humor and affectionate observation..." - Amazon.

"...stories, essays, and artwork that highlight the hilarity of dog behavior and the comical interactions between dog people and their four-legged friends. From playful puppies who wreak havoc in the home to dogs with a whole array of comic shticks and tricks, Howl celebrates the verve and the laughs pets offer their people. It includes laugh-out-loud reflections (and confessions), rib-tickling tales, and whimsical vignettes from well-known writers such as: Dave Barry, Margaret Cho, Al Franken, Kinky Friedman, Pam Houston, Haven Kimmel, Neal Pollack and many more." - from hardcover edition.
The Dangerous Book for Dogs: A Parody by Rex and Sparky, by Janet Ginsburg. Villard. Amazon customer rating: 4 1/2 stars (19 reviews). Kindle edition $9.99. Text-to-Speech: Disabled. Optimized for Kindle DX.
"This gentle parody of the bestselling Dangerous Book for Boys - identical in look and tone to its source material - offers an often funny, surprisingly insightful take on dog behavior that's sure to resonate with the Spot set. With the 'assistance' of their human companions, canine authors Rex and Sparky relate practical and authoritative information on topics simple (baths, fleas, bones, poop, 'things you can chase') and complex: the rules of fetch (it's not officially over until a player earns 17,572 points), tips on crotch sniffing (under the heading 'How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot') and a critical guide to frequently ingested items...this goofy, gleeful guide to the dog life will tickle anyone with a soft spot for canines." - Publishers Weekly.
How to Raise a Jewish Dog, by Rabbis of Boca Raton Theological Seminary. Little, Brown & Company. Amazon customer rating: 4 1/2 stars (26 reviews). Kindle edition $9.35. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"Questions to Ask a Breeder: 1. What kind of job is this, growing dogs? 2. Are these dogs nice? I mean of course they are. But if not, is this refundable? 3. Is this a stable business? Do you make a decent living? 4. Does the insurance kill you or is it okay? 5. Dogs are animals ? does this mean you qualify for some kind of Federal ranch subsidies? 6. What do I say to people who want to know how I can spend $1500 and up on a dog when there are so many dogs to be rescued from the pound? The (make-believe) Rabbis of the (fictional) Boca Raton Theological Seminary have developed the essential dog training program for raising a Jewish dog..." - Amazon.
Bedtime Stories for Dogs, by Leigh Anne Jasheway. Andrews McMeel Publishing. Amazon customer rating: 5 stars (6 reviews). Kindle edition $6.37. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"Here's a book that will make dog owners sit up and beg for more..., a hilarious volume for pampered pets and their human parents. From tales like The Three Little Pugs to Snow White and the Seven Chihuahuas. The tales are written just the way dogs like things - they're short and simple, they have happy endings, they usually involve food, and they frequently refer to things that smell really awful. Each one of these stories was proofed (and woofed) by the author's two wiener dogs: 'If they didn't give a story two paws up and two tails wagging, it was back to the drawing board,' she says..." - Amazon.
