Reviews
Although billed as containing "the wacky and wonderful truth about the animal kingdom," this book is mostly about dogs, cats, and the assortment of other critters humans bring into their homes and apartments as parts of their lives. It's a collection of odd historical facts, debunkings of commonly held beliefs, and trivia concerning these feathered, furred, and scaly friends. Reading it we learn, for example, that Abraham Lincoln's dog was assassinated, how cats survive 30-story falls, and how the dog names Rover and Fido originated. More practically, perhaps, we learn why hamsters like to bite people and which animal will truly never bite a child. Capuzzo admits that his effort works well as literary entertainment when one is ensconced in the personal hygiene room, and maybe such is the best place for it, as its bite-sized sections make quick, easy reading.
