About this title

Synopsis

Each title in the Not Your Mother's Book series contains approximately 60 real-life stories dedicated to a unique theme, drawn from the passion and experience of dozens of writers in a whimsical and entertaining mix of irreverence and humor. Founded by former coauthors and editors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, this similarly styled anthology series foregoes the sad, sappy, preachy, or death-oriented stories that were that series' hallmark, and unlike that series, is never afraid to be a little risqué. These stories are funny, daring, different, and smart.

The dogs are loose and in rare form in this very funny and endearing anthology about our canine friends. Each contributor is, without a doubt, a devoted dog owner or dog lover, and each writes about the special dog in their lives. From puppy-dog antics to canine adventures, the dogs run free on the pages of this entertaining book. Many of the stories are about dogs adopted from shelters and rescue organizations.
