Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's best known humorists-authors, comedians, and actors-to offer biting commentary on what it means to share a life, and a heart, with a dog. From battling for bed space to trying to transform a pampered NYC pup into a Texas rawhide, and from helping a shelter rescue navigate through her new life to interpreting dog run dynamics (and politics), being a canine companion has challenges as tough as any agility course, but laughter is just a tail-wag away. This collection features uncanny insight and witty prose from:
¿ Jen Lancaster
¿ Rita Mae Brown
¿ Laurie Notaro
¿ Jane Green
¿ Beth Harbison
¿ W. Bruce Cameron
¿ and many others, including a foreword by Chelsea Handler's dog, Chunk
