Will have pet lovers chuckling throughout the course of the book, which is broken up into sections like "Cat and Mouse Games" and "Big Cats," ending on a hilarious "Cartoons without a Cat-egory" free-for-all. An entertaining and enjoyable collection that can be read in one sitting or one panel at a time, perfect for readers who enjoy animal humor and behaviors. --Booklist

"Coverly opens each chapter with a photo and story about one of the various dogs from his own past. These segments offer a touching and humorous perspective and really help bridge the many parts of this book into a more complete narrative. The simple format makes this book perfect for browsing." --School Library Journal

"A large collection of dog-themed cartoons from the creator of the syndicated panel Speed Bump, punctuated with snapshots and fond reminiscences of his own real pooches." --Kirkus Reviews
