A Must for every Dog Owner

If you own a dog, you must get this book... I have never laughed so hard reading a "non-fiction" book...Run don't walk to get this.

doggie literature

it is the funniest book written from a dog's perspective. If you love dogs it is just hilarious and you can see the logic

Perfect Dog - Human Book

Very funny book, and unique perspective on the dog-human relationship. Had me laughing out loud in several sections, especially as my own dog has trained me on some of Tess's same lessons. Also insightful to many human quirks, and how our habits are viewed from the dogs' perspective. Great gift for dog lovers, and keep one for yourself.

Too True

This book is a tell all. Tess, a lab owned by Brian Kahn exposes the way she shamefully manipulates him. She shares all the well know secrets and some not so well known about how dogs, under the guise of being pleasers in fact run the homes they live in. I must concede she does so with wit and charm. This is a fun book.

Very clever

This book will bring a smile to any dog owner's face. Very well written.
