This is an amusing and informative look at the relationship between gay men and their dogs. You can determine the breed of dog you should get by matching the breed to your personality and that of your partner. Some of the funniest parts include the secret sex lives of dogs, choosing the proper gay name for your dog and finding the correct puppy finishing school. You can match your dog with your own temperament and stereotype, with some being gaysian, maple leaf fag, bear, leatherman and size queen. Enjoy the book, but don't take it too seriously. It is all in fun.

Woof! is Great! I've enjoyed reading every word of this book. It is the perfect gift for gay and gay-friendly households who are seeking a dog or already have a dog! Buy it! You won't regret it!

Woof!; A Gay Man's Guide to Dogs is a pleasure to read and is as factual as it is entertaining. Mr. DePrisco has cleverly woven a tapestry of imagery with which almost EVERY gay man can identify. Questions such as 'Bringing a dog into your relationship' and 'selecting the right breed for you' are answered with humor, intellect and BRILLIANT camp! Jason O'Malley's ultra fabulous illustrations show that the team of DePrisco and O'Malley creates a book that is destined to be a MUST have. (Trust me, it's like Prada with pages!!)

I'm a fifty something straight woman and I love this book! It's funny and useful and wise in its basic message of knowing yourself before you choose a dog.

The illustrations are great as well.

Buy this book for all your gay or secure straight friends who are thinking about getting a dog.

I received my copy yesterday and laughed so hard I immediately ordered a few more for my friends. Any dog lover, gay or straight (unless you are a narrow-minded homophobe) with a sense of humor will adore this book. The illustrations are just gorgeous -- a real pleasure for the eyes! In addition to the tongue-in-cheek humor, the book is also informative. I will not repeat what others have already said. I will add that I was impressed that there was a section about puppymills and the Amish were exposed for being the worst culprits of this horrific money-making endeavor (just ask my dog who was locked in a tiny cage by the Amish for 5 years without access to sunlight or grass). Most people do not know that the worst puppymills are Amish enterprises and that they will not hesitate to club dogs to death when they can no longer bring in a buck. Here's an exerpt on this topic: "At the risk of losing book sales to my gay Amish fan base, a number of the Pennsylvania Dutch folk have become notorious for raising puppies under farmlike conditions and selling directly to brokers. Their dog-proud German relatives would be appalled; the Amish should stick to what they're best at: quilts, pretzels, and high fashion" (p. 122). You tell them Andrew DePrisco!

"Woof!" is an absolute delight. A fun and informative read for prospective dog owners of every persuasion. DePrisco is an experienced dog owner and brilliant writer who offers wise and witty advice on choosing and caring for a dog and answers questions you never thought to ask. Best of all, you will find yourself smiling as you turn the pages! O'Malley's illustrations are superb, making this a perfect coffee table book.

This book will solve many of your Christmas shopping dilemmas. It's a can't miss gift.

If you're of a certain age you might remember the Levy's Rye Bread commercial "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's Real Jewish Rye!"
Andrew DePrisco and Jason O'Malley's fun, fun book lets the gay guys out of the closets and the truth about dogs and their gay owners out of the crates.

Good solid information blended with great humor and insights of some of the dog world's talented participants presents a panorama of dog breeds and types that will fit any gay (or straight for that matter) life style.

If you already have a dog Woof! will kick your enjoyment of him or her up many notches. If you're on the cusp of becoming a dog owner Andrew's words and Jason's illustrations will head you in the right direction for a satisfying and long enduring relationship.

Woof! is the ultimate gift that will lead all who read it down many happy yellow brick roads.
