Subtitled, Memoirs of a Furry Genius, with a picture of an adorable "papillon" puppy using a typewriter on the cover, a quick perusal of this book reveals a hilarious account of the life of a smart dog. "Books about dogs are a dime a dozen...since these books are written by humans, dogs know that they are completely ridiculous. What the world...has needed...is a book about humans written by a dog." So begins the foreword of this unusual memoir.
There are twenty chapters, each beginning with a charming picture of Genevieve in a captivating, irresistible pose and the chapter title which reveals the topic. In chapters such as The Hidden Toy Ploy, Dog and Driver, Pet Peeves, Picking the Right Human for You and Do Humans Think, the tables are cleverly turned to reflect a canine point of view of life in a human world, highlighting the relationships of dogs and people. The author's ironic wit paired with "cute doggie pix" and heartwarming stories is sure to be a winning combination.
