The Waggiest Tails

I wasn't The Dog that looks like its Owner and Most Fabulous Fella was some other male. But there was one class where I came in first—I'm The Dog with the Waggiest Tail. From huskies, born to run, to those big bad bruisers, the security dogs. Meet Bruno, the smallest dog on the farm, and Charlie, the dancing chihuahua. Find rescue dogs, helping dogs, yappy dogs, happy dogs—and the dog with the waggiest tail! Includes two poems set in New Yorks, featuring Princess Zyara, and a New York dog who shouldn't have to jog. All written from the dogs' point of view, by internationally acclaimed poets Brian Moses and Roger Stevens, this funny and perceptive canine collection will be treasured by dog-lovers of all ages.
