Bad Dog!: True Tales of Trouble Only a Best Friend Can Get Away With

by Doug Brown, Kaori Brown

In this amusing compendium of anecdotes, bad dogs recount their proudest moments–gnawing prized heirlooms, stealing steaks, and wrecking furniture. The offending canines themselves share their stories of destruction, along with black and white photos. Meet Rita, the Airedale Terrier who ate through $1,000 worth of car upholstery; Cody, a Rottweiler with a dangerous fascination with Christmas lights; and Gracie, a dachshund with an appetite for jewelry. Every dog owner can relate to the writers' well-earned pride in their accomplishments and the damages incurred by their owners. These laugh-out-loud anecdotes showcase the antics of some truly mischievous dogs and the people who love them anyway.
