You're Not a Real Dog Owner Until…

The definitive reflection of what it is to be a dog owner/parent, from dog park politics to inevitable messes and all the fun and love in between. Written and illustrated by two of The New Yorker magazine's best-loved cartoonists, You're Not a Real Dog Owner Until... is a must for any dog lover.

This book presents a delightful collection of observations about having a dog from award-winning comedian/cartoonist duo Scott Dooley and Jason Chatfield. These hilarious cartoons pair New Yorker-style illustrations with relatable details about having a dog. For example, you're not a real dog owner until...

•  You have to nix the word "walk" from your vocabulary as if it holds dark magical powers.
•  There are dog park friends who you only know by their dog’s name.
•  You've had to mediate a cease-fire between your dog and the Roomba.
•  Your dog has "protected you loudly" from thousands of "potential intruders" who've dared to walk past your front door (Most often during Zoom calls).
•  Your dog eats a healthier, more balanced and nutrient-rich diet than you have ever eaten in your life.
•  You have a voice you only use with your dog
•  You also have a voice for your dog.

A cross between The Far Side and For Dummies, this series offers insights into worlds we live in, whether it's where you live, what you love or even who you are, the "You're Not a Real..." series lets you know you're not alone in doing things some may think are crazy that are totally normal to you and your tribe!
