Synopsis
This wry and heartfelt look at everyday life and relationships will especially tickle dog lovers, while giving non-dog lovers something to smile about as well. A Dog's Guide to Life is the personal diary of Bala, a delightful, insightful Doberman from Manhattan.
Bala sniffs for clues to life's great mysteries-such as how not to get left behind, the sexual politics of the local dog run, and the allure of chicken wings. He also offers a dog's eye view of his yuppie "Mom" and "Dad" and their obsessions-including himself, money, and religion-while teaching us a thing or two about love and relationships along the way.
Illustrated with twenty black-and-white photographs, A Dog's Guide to Life is sure to delight the special dog lover on your Father's Day shopping list.
