It's a Dog's Life...but It's Your Carpet


A compilation of practical, offbeat, and often hilarious questions about dogs, answered by veterinary specialist and animal lover Dr. Justine Lee.

Sure, you love your dog, but sometimes you have to wonder about his behavior. In It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet, board-certified critical care specialist Dr. Justine Lee explains your dog's odd antics and answers questions that have been hounding dog owners for years, including:

  • Can a Chihuahua and a Great Dane mate?
  • Why do dogs sniff each other's butts?
  • Is a dog's nose a good indicator of his health?
  • Is one dog year really equivalent to seven human years?
  • Which breed is the smartest? And which is the dumbest?

This humorous reference book will provide scientific answers to some of the most common and offbeat questions people have about their pets. Whether you're looking for advice on pet rearing, solutions to your dog's most frustrating habits, explanations of his weirdest quirks, or simply a good laugh at his expense, It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet is sure to entertain and surprise dog lovers of every breed.
