Bad habits, bad attitudes, bad breath. With a weakness for bad outfits and having bad hair days. Dogs are no less bad than cats, so it was only a matter of time before, emboldened by the runaway success of Bad Cat , the #1 New York Times bestseller with 487,000 copies in print, dogs would be begging for the chance to speak out. Dogs like: Trixie, the puppy eating her own foot, who says: "If you're wondering, it tastes like chicken." Or the aging Sam, eyes popping out of his head and granny glasses askew: "Sweet mother of mercy--the Viagra's working!" Or Tasia, a big mutt forced to wear little Santa hats, who snarls: "I'd like to roast your chestnuts on an open fire." There's Dallas the surly yoga instructor. The old letch Samson, half-mastiff and half-slobber. Barley of the Order of the Vested Shih Tzus. Devil-worshipping Penny. Friend of sailors Miz Skeeter Bug. And Charlie, whose words should be heeded by every owner who thinks it's cute to dress up the family pet: "Listen to me! I am not a bird. I am not a plane. I'm just your dog, Charlie." In the same format as Bad Cat , with 244 truly funny photographs (including a number of group portraits), plus name, age, hobby, and candid quote.

twisted sense of humor needed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Okay, I work with animals on a daily basis and being in the field I am you need a twisted sense of humor when it comes to dogs. I laughed so hard reading this book that people in the adjoining areas had to keep coming over to see what was so funny. This book may offend some people who do not have dark sense of humors but if you do and you love dogs then this is the the book for you.
THE DOGS ARE JUST ADORABLE ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I agree with the other reviewers that this book is not in the same league as Jim Edgar's BAD CAT, but you gotta admit the dogs are adorable ... doo-doo and drool or not! I recommend that parents check it out to see if any of the "bath-room humor" is too offensive for their children. My children are all grown, so I bought it for myself ... I enjoy a good laugh, and the doggie photos made me laugh out loud.
Bad Dog
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If it's true that humans and canines have been hanging out together for 14,000 years, then this book is looooong overdue. These dogs have been wearing our pajamas, our bunny ears, our glasses, and French cuffs, our wigs and our sweaters, our jeans and our muffs for fourteen doggone centuries now, and it's high time that we chronicle their impertinence, their clumsy attempts to assimilate, and even impersonate us, so that their treachery can be seen for what it is. I mean, for dog's sake, these things are even thinking our thoughts, now. They're shop-lifting. They're wife-swapping. They're reading Eudora Welty. They seem to know no bounds and it has got to stop!! We must be very clear about who is still the Boss on this planet, once and for all. Rosen, Pritchett, and Battles have done a great service for humanity because one look at this book will convince you that deep down, these dogs are just bad to the bone.
Woof!

Heaven for dog people; sweet revenge for cat people. The photos are over the top and the captions are way dry and witty. Every time I laughed out loud, our Wheaten Terrier jumped on my lap. Must have happened 30 times. Funny, funny stuff.
