You might think there’s no rhyme or reason for dog behavior,
but you’d be wrong.
There are rules, specifically, 50 Rules for Dogs: The Canine Constitution, a fun and irreverent peek into the inner lives of dogs from the canine perspective. It’s no accident, then, that man’s best friend skips out on his bath, nuzzles the allergic guy and realizes when you’ve had a bad day. It’s all preordained. It’s the law!
This cleverly illustrated book, written by animal lovers Susan and Kevin McCourt with original drawings from artist Andrea Coleman, captures dogs in all their lovable, loyal, goofy glory and lets you know what’s on their minds. (Hint: Mostly food. Close second: You.) It will remind you why you fell head over heels for that mutt with dragon breath and how much you depend on him as a therapist, confidante, running buddy, hero, protector, entertainer, nursemaid and constant companion.
Insightful and breezy, 50 Rules for Dogs is a heart-tugging must-read for anyone owned by a dog.
