From the Publisher

So we are not the 'Chosen Species'. Also, dogs will rule the world in 400 years, and if Adam and Eve were dogs, there would have been no 'Original Sin'. So says this remarkably amusing book.

This humor/cartoon/satire - trade paperback, 135 pages with 60 full-page cartoon illustrations - is based on the secret "C" or "Canine Text" of the Dead Sea Scrolls (discovered accidentlly in the basement of the Israel Museum). It will appeal to dog lovers, Bible lovers, children, and to anyone with a basic sense of humor or spiritual bent (Biblical archeologists, historians, and religious teachers will also find the book very useful). Little children - ages 4 to 7 - will enjoy the rich illustrations - 60 of them - and will be tempted to color them. Adults and older children- ages 8 to 250 - will enjoy both the illustrations, and the accompanying 'creative text':

"...But it was the eleventh plague that almost

destroyed Egypt: God caused all the toilet paper to dissapear" (page 90).

The book covers half of the Old Testament in 13 chapters - from 'Adam and Eve' to 'King Solomon'; the sequel "BIBLE DOGS 2" - will cover the rest of the chapters. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and funny book for all ages!, December 23, 1999

This review is from: Bible Dogs: Famous Canines in the Bible (Paperback)

The book starts out in Genesis explaining the creation of the first and most important species on earth, Dogs. Each page in the book represents an important biblical event yet the lyrical text of Mr. Tamiran kept me laughing hard helping me remember the details of each cleverly told story. The book was masterfully crafted to provide rich humor, as well as an educational content, which has inspired me to read more stories about the bible and of course, dogs. No other book presents such an honest, yet unique perspective on the history of dogs and of people. After reading the whole book I just had to read it again and again! That is why I give this book my highest recomendations.
