This review is from: Grimmy: It's A Dog Sniff Dog World (Paperback)

Grimmy's humor works both for the young and old. At times it is similar to Far Side and at other times it is like Calvin & Hobbes. As new dog owners, we appreciate the funny way Peters describes the behavior of dogs in a hilarious way.
