Synopsis

A hilarious, charming, and foul-mouthed look inside the minds of man's best friends

What is my dog thinking? That's the question that every dog owner asks when their beloved pet stares up at them with an inscrutable look. Is it love? Is it devotion? Don’t believe it. This book exclusively reveals what really goes on in the canine mind. With utterly charming, heart-melting cartoons and riotous, potty-mouthed captions, readers can discover that man's best friend is just as grumpy, cynical, and self-serving as his master. This is an unforgettable, twisted look at the many bizarre, ridiculous, and instantly recognizable scenarios in which dog owners find their pets every day.

CHAPTER 1

My arse isn't itchy, it's just the static from this carpet makes my balls tingle

And while you're there, could you dislodge that Rolex I swallowed?

Say hello to my little friend

If we see that sexy bitch from No 43 you're on your fucking own, mate

So glad you're home ... I shat all over the dining-room and now I need you to clean it up

This little gizmo helps me smell out rotting roadkill with 45% improved accuracy

If you do that pretend throw thing again, I'm going to sink my teeth into your fucking crotch

I'm getting gooseberries, cabbage and clams, with notes of horsemeat

And since it's my birthday, I suppose a butt plug is out of the question?

You may have just given me this, but you're still a twat

I like a bit of bondage as much as the next dog but you guys are fucking obsessed
