Did you know…Dave Eggers, the famed author of A Hologram For the King, Zeitoun, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and publishing marvel behind McSweeney’s, 826Valencia, just to name a few — also has a charming book of animal prints on his impressive résumé, It Is Right To Draw Their Fur: Animal Renderings…
Fairy Tale Interrupted by Rosemarie Terenzio is not a book about dogs — but rather about her relationship as the personal assistant to JFK Jr. (although there are a few brief descriptions of Sam, JFK Jr.’s crazy rescue dog) — but for some reason, it just gets me…
On rainy days, it’s nice to put on your London Fog dog. That’s right, sometimes you gotta go back to the classics (even with dog books) — and what better place to start than Jack London’s pre-World War dog adventure stories like Call of The Wild and White Fang.
There’s not many things that get me more excited than cool covers for dog books (okay, maybe a couple other non-dog book related things, too!). That said, Julie Klam has two covers that will make any dog book fan drool — and a handsome animated book trailer to boot!

My cat lover friends didn’t find this Super Bowl commercial all that amusing…
The Super Bowl is famous for unleashing a slew of much-anticipated commercials — and this yapped-up version of the Star Wars theme will be music to the ears of all dog lovers…
I think it was Chris Rock who once said that he wants to come back in the next life as Oprah’s dog. Well, heaven only knows if that’s possible — but here’s the next best thing: a list of Oprah’s favorite dog books!
Taschen, the stylish publisher of fancy, high-end art and design books, recently lost their mascot/in-house editorial director, Sans Souci, a super sweetie French bulldog, but they’ve commemorated him with a loving tribute on their shopping bag…
