It was the year that changed my life. One day, there I was, a happy pup with a handsome house out in the backyard, a pack of trusted friends, and more toys than I could possibly put in my mouth at the same time. Then I began to lose interest in eating -- even expensive moist food. The magic vanished from simple activities that once brought me joy, like knocking over the kitchen trash can. My tail stopped wagging for the cute cocker spaniel next door. I was in the grip of a powerful depression. That's when my vet suggested Prozac -- and now, poring over my diary from that turbulent year, it's hard to believe everything that happened as I struggled to get in touch with my Inner Puppy. But in the end, a little pill wrapped in bologna taught me truths about happiness we can all share: how to pick yourself up when you feel down in the snout; how to love the sound of your own bark. What it truly means to a good dog.
This is the greatest, most enjoyable story ever! It's so right on point. I wish it would be republished. Get ready to laugh, smile, perhaps shed a tear but a 'good' tear, and nod your head as you begin to feel better about whatever......Right on!!!!!

I have enjoyed this book every time I have read it, and it is many times. I have given this book to most of my dog loving friends, and many will get it this year for Christmas! What a great look into how dogs think and behave. Thank you buck!
Side-bustingly funny canine perspective of life.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
An enjoyable read for pet owners or others, "Barking at Prozac" is a hilarious first-"paw" narrative of Buck the beagle. McNichol succeeds at funny and descriptive accounts of everyday life from the four-legged perspective. Readers (or their pets) needn't be on puppy uppers to appreciate the humor of "Barking." It will tickle their funny bone.
