Review
"Extremely entertaining ... a masterful job. Anyone ... will enjoy the humor of this book. It is delightful." -- Pet Times, September, 2000

"Never cliche nor typical ... Well written [and] humorous ... will further lift the veil on the relationship between canine and humans." -- ForeWord Magazine, September, 2000

"Wonderfully witty ... a "must" for all dog lovers and companions." -- Midwest Book Review

A light-hearted, fun read ... entertaining from the first paragraph ... tongue-in-cheek the whole way... enjoyable reading for dog lovers everywhere. -- Dog World Magazine, December 2000

Product Description
Want to know what your dog really thinks of you? In this hilarious exposé, Genevieve, a two-year-old papillon, takes you into the inner sanctum of dogdom, revealing canine secrets never before shared with humans. Genevieve sinks her teeth into such topics as driving tips for dogs, the tragedy of doorbells in TV commercials, measuring the intelligence of humans, finding a reason for cats, how prehistoric dogs saved the caveman’s bacon, converting your house into an agility course, and productive kitchen behavior. IMPORTANT - read this book before your dog does!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE, October 19, 2000
This book is a MUST HAVE for any dog owner who ever wondered whats really going on in those tiny little heads of theirs. Genevieve is quite a mischevious little girl who will have you in stitches from start to finish. Being born in the 'home for unwed mothers' and having to drink from the 'furry milk machine' had no adverse effects on this dog! She's a dog with lots of attitude, creativity and a great sense of humor. Every dog owner (or future owner) should have a copy of this book. Its a GREAT gift idea for your dog-loving friends who may be too embarassed to admit they really don't know what their dogs are thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars The exciting adventures and opinions of a little dog..., August 24, 2000
By Betty (Simpsonville, SC, USA) - See all my reviews
This book is hilarious and laughing outloud funny. It is written from the standpoint of a Papillon, but even people with other dog breeds or no dogs at all will get a kick out of this book. It is very cleverly written with several pictures of Genevieve and her humans. It is a charming read and would make a great gift.
