/PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the holiday season the pawfect book for pet lovers, "Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger" (published by Kensington Books/ http://badtothebonememoir.com/). It's the first memoir ever written by a dog published in non-fiction, and is a laugh-out-loud look at how a canine and two seemingly normal people wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world while creating a lifelong bond in the process.
Bo Hoefinger is not your everyday, run of the mill author; he's a mixed-breed shelter dog with an attitude.
Let's get this clear right away: I'm a dog.
I'm 1'10" and weigh 63 lbs, and although I'm a mutt on the outside, I'm a purebred on the inside. My good nature comes from the Golden Retriever side of the family, while my stubbornness is clearly from my Chowchow bloodlines. I've got Rastafarian ears, a black tongue for licking, and paws that should be on a dog twice my size.
I type 60 words a minute.
My name is Bo, and this is my story.
Join this incorrigible canine as he welcomes us into his life, complete with his wacky "parents," a constipated feline housemate, and chipmunk warfare. All tales are 100% true and will put animal lovers in fits of laughter. Bad to the Bone is an unforgettable tale of love and loyalty that reveals the true heart of a modern American family.
From the mind of man's best friend, comes the funniest book of the year. Critics agree:
"You'll laugh, you'll howl, you'll practically wag with pleasure."-Dr. Marty Becker
"His 'voice' is utterly original, sharp, and kind."-Ask Dog Lady
"A real treat."-Tracie Hotchner
Grab a copy for yourself and the pet lovers in your life, or anyone who just needs a laugh. It's the perfect stocking stuffer, order now! A portion of the proceeds is donated to help rescue dogs.
Bo lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his sisters Copper, a Rhodesian ridgeback rescue, and Moose, a grey run of the mill house cat. He also shares accommodations with his two owners. Everyone is allowed on the bed.

Sharing Life with a Poodle: A Loving and Hilarious Portrayal of the Human Side of Dogs
AAG Note: Sometimes, a lighter look at animals is in order. This book sounds like a fun read, in addition to providing good tips.
/PRNewswire/ -- People love to pamper their pets, and their pets love to be pampered. Author Kate Reynolds, the indulgent owner of a French poodle puppy, has written a humorous take on fellow pet owners and the corporations whose advertising keeps the owners' closets full of pet supplies. "The Time Marches on Dog Book" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com/) is a parody of promotional literature for dog-care products and an endorsement of items sold by "Barkgent," a fictional dog-product vendor.
Much like dogs romping through a whimsical park, "The Time Marches on Dog Book" is a romp through an alternate canine universe in which dogs long for Armani suits and Versace gowns, study foreign language tapes, and imbibe in wines sporting labels such as "Canine Cabernet."
Depicting the action after the dog and his owner have downed a few glasses of before-dinner wine, Reynolds writes, "So what's for dinner? You don't have a clue, neither does your pooch. You have opened your Barkgent's ALL NEW FRENCH COOKBOOK for you and your dog. You cannot see the page; you had planned on filet mignon with Bearnaise sauce, but your dog ate it raw this morning. He may need more TUMMYTUM YUMS. What about the Welsh rarebit? Your dog adores this! You can't stand it, but, oh well, you'll make it for him because you love your dog."
Then, after a series of antic mishaps including an oven fire and fire-extinguisher foam sprayed in the kitchen: "You reach for a bottle of Milquebonz Merlot to get your strength back. Maybe you need two due to the circumstances. Now what will you replace that burned Welsh rarebit with?"
"The Time Marches on Dog Book" includes professional-quality color photos starring Dr. Sam, the author's comical-looking poodle puppy, humorously illustrating outlandish doggy-doings. The zany world of high-level canine care comes to life through Dr. Sam's antics.
Serious subjects are also covered in "The Time Marches on Dog Book," such as the importance of exercise, the value of being present if it becomes necessary to euthanize your pet, and the need to microchip pets to aid in locating them if lost.
About the Author: Kate Reynolds graduated from Chestnut Hill College in Pennsylvania and worked for several years in television with Dick Cavett, Jack Parr, and Marlo Thomas. Her writing muse lay dormant for many years until she awakened it by writing "The Time Marches on Dog Book." The author and her dog, Dr. Sam -- who inspired the book, live seasonally in South Florida and Quebec, Canada.
