A filthy-dirty dogpile of fun!

Who would've thought to ask a dog for his opinion of love (and all related activities), especially a dog living in Elizabethan England? It's been a few years since I read this book, but I still have some fond memories of Mr. Hooker's opinions.

A bawdy canine riot !

I thought this was going to be some refined story of the Bard through the eyes of his dog. Instead, I got a randy romp of domestic fights and love, told in "canine Elizebethan" form. Wow what fun ! Some of the lines Mr Hooker (Bill's dog) I still like to use. This is a fun book
