The Bad Dog's Diary: A Year in the Life of Blake: Lover . . . Fighter . . . Dog

Blake is a lovable mongrel just trying to lead a happy life; he loves his owner, fiercely defends his territory against interlopers (including his owners new lady friend and her cat), does his best to avoid the frequently threatened neutering, and spends a lot of his time either scooting across the carpet or chasing local tail. It really is a dogs life, and Blake has kindly taken the time to keep a diary of a year in his own lifeproviding a hilarious glimpse into the mind and world of your average mutt. Adorably illustrated throughout inhis own hand, Blake gives insight into the canine world from a true dog's dog, including what it means to be pack leader, living with the threat of castration, what dogs really think about canned food, the joys of leg-humping, and, of course, the political and social injustices of the traditional humancanine relationship. Backed up by a host of friends, including Scottie, a geriatric, sex-mad Westie, and Constable, a dim-witted best-of-breed TV personality, Blake's plans take unexpected turns as the year progresses. Hilarious, wise, and often touching, Blake shows us exactly why there will always be a place in the human world for dogs.
