Dave Barry meets The Secret Lives of Dogs in Emily Yoffe's funny and insightful look at all things canine. Filled with adventures of heroic dogs, lovable and lazy dogs, malodorous dogs, phlegmatic and incontinent dogs, What the Dog Did delivers some of the most outlandish and certainly the funniest dog stories on record. "Laugh-out-loud funny."-O: The Oprah Magazine "Yoffe has long been one of the little-known treasures of American journalism-a comic virtuoso who is willing to endure any indignity if it will leave the reader weeping with laughter...For anyone who can't get enough of her, which includes me, What the Dog Did is an embarrassment of riches. This book will appeal to those who are happy to risk rib damage from laughing out loud, but it deserves a broader audience as well."-Chicago Tribune "Yoffe chronicles her gradual conversion to full-blown dog lover with amusing and frustrating episodes of doggie care."-Washington PostEmily Yoffe, a journalist and contributing writer to Slate.com, lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and daughter and their beagle, Sasha. The best dog books are as much about people as they are about dogs, and What the Dog Did is one of the best."-Jon Katz, author of The Dogs of Bedlam Farm
