The overexcited, the lethargic, the mischievous, the sneaky. The Bad Dog calendar is back with another year of naughtiness captured in full color. Inspired by the bestselling book Bad Dog, the calendar for 2008 is packed with wacky and totally hilarious new material. Talk about canines gone crazy: Here are dogs on the bottle, dogs sleeping it off, dogs in questionable relationships with stuffed animals. Dogs glowering, dogs growling, dogs laughing— at you, not with you. Man's best friend? Dream on.

From the Back Cover
MUTTS GONE NUTS
Want sweet and loveable? You're looking in the wrong place. Here you'll find the cranky, the slobbery, the smelly. The overexcited, the lethargic, the mischievous, the sneaky. Inspired by the demented New York Times bestselling book Bad Dog™, this calendar features a year of hysterical canine naughtiness captured in full color. Who knew "man's best friend" could sink to such lows?
The photographic evidence is irrefutable: dogs on the bottle, dogs sleeping it off, dogs wearing tie-dye, dogs in unusual relationships with stuffed animals. Dogs snorting, dogs drooling, dogs growling, dogs laughing—at you, not with you. The hilariously snarky captions should remove any doubt about that (as if you really want to know what these pooches are thinking).

About the Author
Books, calendars, trends. Workman is a publisher that's always around big ideas. B. Kliban's Cat, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, The Silver Palate Cookbook, Bad Cat the original Page-A-Day Calendars, the What to Expect books, BRAIN QUEST—landmark bestsellers such as these reflect a knack for publishing books and calendars that lead. And a commitment to publish them with a mixture of care and innovation. From our first book in 1972—the Yoga 28-Day Exercise Plan, currently in its twenty-eighth printing—to our most recent, each title embodies a style of publishing synonymous with the Workman name. The bright, appealing trade-paperback format. High standards of design and production. Authors who are authorities, who tour extensively and are spokespeople for their subjects. Unexpected formats. The packaging of books with objects. And above all, value through conscientious, aggressive pricing. Then once a book is published, we stay after it through promotion and publicity. Take, for example, the case of The Official Preppy Handbook, and how an idiosyncratic bestseller was transformed into a phenomenon, complete with posters and stationery—even pins and nightshirts. Or What to Expect When You're Expecting, which started with a modest 6,700-copy advance in 1984 and has grown into America's pregnancy bible, currently with over 14 million copies in print. Perhaps more telling is the fact that over two-thirds of all the books we've published in the last twenty-eight years are still in print. Actively so. With a fair share of titles that have over one million copies in print, including BRAIN QUEST, The Silver Palate Cookbook, The New Basics Cookbook, All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat, The Magic Locket, and The Bones Book and Skeleton. We're equally passionate about our calendars: lush wall calendars, desk diaries, and the groundbreaking Page-A-Day calendar line. It was years ago that Workman followed the 1975 bestseller Cat with the 1976 bestselling B. Kliban's Cat Calendar. Then a few years later we completely changed the business with the introduction of the chunky, irresistible, boxed Page-A-Day calendar. Today we're still growing, evolving, innovating. Our calendar list is bigger, our business more established. But look at our offerings and you'll see not a company running on past successes, but one that works just as hard to launch the new idea as it does to keep the proven title selling—a company that works as hard to publish the best calendar as it does to publish the best book.

I love dogs...but really?,

This review is from: Bad Dog Wall Calendar 2011 (Calendar)
Look, I love dogs just as much as the next person. Okay, I lied. I probably love dogs more than the next person. And what's better than owning two of your own dogs? Having a calendar with lots and lots of pictures of dogs to look at every day, of course! I figured the "Bad Dog" calendar would give me my cute dog fix and give me some laughs. Plus it came with bonus postcards of bad dogs! Oh boy! How could this possibly go wrong? But...seriously? The pictures in this calendar are average at best. It seems that the publishers of this calendar threw a bunch of photos that were submitted and randomly pulled them out of a hat. And it seems like they had 9 year-olds write the captions for the pictures. In other words, they are either not funny or just flat-out lame. More than half of the photos don't even really go with the whole "bad dog" theme. They're pictures of dogs in cheesy costumes or posing with stuffed animals or just sitting there. Every day I look at this calendar, I feel like I'm just sifting through some random candid shots of dogs that were taken by a bunch of child photographers or that kind of person that tells you, "OH MY GOSH I HAVE THE BEST PICTURE EVEERRRR" and you see it, and it's garbage. And perhaps if all these dog photos were worthy of my admiration, I could overlook the fact that there's hardly any space in many of the boxes to write down appointments and what have you, but they're not, so I can't. Bad Dog? More like Bad Calendar.

This review is from: Bad Dog 2012 Wall Calendar (Calendar)
I have always loved the Bad Dog calendars. People I know have the desk top one (with the tear off, sheet-a-day version) and it's usually great. I think I would have liked that one better. I didn't think this 2012 was as funny as some in the past and the individual, daily pictures are kind of hard to read since they are so small and print is small. Wish I had the desktop one but this will still be good for some laughs!
