Like its funny dog blog cousins, Texts From Dog and Dogshaming, what started out as a Tumblr blog has now become a book — Talking Animals in All Caps by Justin Valmassoi.
But beware: THESE VARMINTS ARE VERY OUTSPOKEN!

If you can’t take your dog to work, then maybe you could get crafty and create a paper clone of him/her…

It’s Just A Dog Is Just An Amazon Bestseller!
As the dog days of summer have finally come to an end, I would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to all those who purchased a Kindle or paperback copy of It’s Just A Dog — in which 50% of sales were donated to Muttville Senior Dog Rescue during the 3-month launch.
And on top of supporting Muttville, you’ve also helped the book become an Amazon Bestseller (alongside some very cool cats)! Thanks again so much — we couldn’t have done it without you!
Microfinancing for Mutts!
As the dog days of summer come to an end, this is the last weekend to grab yourself a copy of It’s Just A Dog (on Kindle, $0.99 or paperback, $8.99) to have your purchase benefit Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. And to go out on a high note, I’m donating 100% of my royalties this week thru Labor Day, September 2, 2013.
Of course, if you’d like to help Muttville even more, you can donate directly or attend their fall party fundraiser, Moolah For Mutts!
Letters To and From My Dog…?
A few weeks ago, a great Goodreads friend recommended a dog book to me called A Letter To My Dog by Robin Layton, so I gladly put it on my GR shelf. And then over the weekend, I noticed that Brainpickings re-published an old letter by E.B. White (a.k.a., the author of Charlotte’s Web) — which was written under the pseudonym of his dog, Daisy.
So if you’re bored of social networking — your new best pen pal might just be lying at your feet!

Dogs Need Glasses, Too!
If your dog is having problems focusing or reading — then maybe he just needs glasses…
And Barney Saltzberg’s charming dog/children’s book, Arlo Needs Glasses, may just open you and your dog’s eyes!
Dogtripping, yeah!
If you’re planning a big summer vacation on the road with your dog, then you might want to check out David Rosenfelt’s Dogtripping. But this book is more than just a funny Chevy Chase dog story — it’s about Rosenfelt’s account of moving 25 dogs (yes, 25!) from California to Maine, as he and his wife start up their dog rescue, The Tara Foundation, which has found thousands of new homes for foster dogs.

Secrets of A Childless Dog Parent…
Maddie On Things Ridin’ High!

Bill Burr Goes to the Dogs…
If you’re not too squeamish about profanity, then you might enjoy the dirty dog humor of comedian, Bill Burr…

Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette, one of the Best Books of 2012, is now out in paperback — and her original book trailer has a funny bit of her pitching the novel to bookstores and writer friends, including Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain.
