A Dog's Blog; Year One-The Mooks Review

"Just read the whole shebang...Loved it. Can't wait to read the next installments. Touching and funny."

Estelle Rosen (CKUT Radio, Montreal)

Leo is like no other dog you've ever met. He'll be the first to tell you he ain't no Marley or Lassie or any other wondrous dog which inhabits literature and films. He's a vulgar, sexist, homophobic, right-wing Jack Russell terrier, saved from the pound by two half-witted gay men who had no idea what they were getting themselves in for. So Leo started blogging (if only to work out his frustration). His blog is an hilarious first-person account of life with The Mooks (as he calls them)—adjusting to them, the world-order of Barack Obama, the dogs and cats in his new neighbourhood and any damn thing that pops into his mind. To know Leo is to fear him; those who get on his bad side are slain by his quick wit and vile language.
