In this volume, "New Yorker" cartoonist Leo Cullum pokes gentle fun at the foibles and eccentricities of cavorting canines and their human owners. Or is it the dogs who are in charge? As his fans well know, Cullum's dogs are an eclectic and enterprising lot. They are lawyers and doctors and businessmen, and more than a few like to sit in bars and debate the predicaments of life. Whether they portray a confounded dog therapy patient searching for the reason he is barking, or an exasperated dog humouring his human owner's need to keep throwing a stick for him to fetch, the 125 cartoons in this book tell us almost as much about people as they do about dogs.
