This is front page news? This is about the tenth thread I've seen on this book.

Gee, let's make a book about missing fathers.
I got a good title that might sell.
"Where have the human dogs gone too?"

Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer

I've said it before and will say it again:

AT LEAST THE DOG HAD PLENTY TO CRAP ON.

The story is more than a recounting of Marley's antics that include chewing through doors, expulsion from obedience school, clawing paint off concrete walls, devouring furniture, swallowing valuable jewelry and swooning over soiled diapers.

LOL, I've got one of those. 90 pounds and almost 6 years old, and people still think she's a puppy.

I'll have to check this one out. I raised two black labs. Great dogs - truly wonderful family pets!

I just lost my own dog 7 weeks ago and have avoided reading it because I'll get all teary !

I'll read it eventually but my dog years are over and it's so sad !

Some people are just wound too tight...
I am happy and grateful to see this thread.

How is this front page news. Last I saw, book reviews were in the entertainment section.

If you'd bother to read the thread before posting, you might have noticed that I posted an article on this book a month ago. In chat where it belonged. The book is entertaining. It's just not "Front Page News." That's all.

If I had posted this story to "News/Current Events" or "Extended" I probably would have gotten suspended for a week.
