How to Be a Dog: Maxwell Woofington's Guide to Living with Humans and Getting the Upper Paw

Written by a dog, and with helpful additions by other dogs, How to Be a Dog is essential reading, not just for all canines but also for their owners and dog lovers alike, providing an insight into their pet's sometimes curious behavior. As you'd expect from a book written by a dog about humans, it's 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 rule book of the doggie world, a hilarious guide for living with humans, and always getting the upper paw.

Maxwell Woofington is a pedigree cocker spaniel who sees himself less as Man's Best Friend and more as his very cynical and irreverent acquaintance. Practicing what he preaches, Max continues to be the alpha male of the Leigh family with whom he lives.
