Bo’s Wagging Tale
The dazzling literary trend for memoirs continues with Bo Hoefinger’s real-life story in the pages of this charming volume. In case you think Bo is just another dog that won’t stop talking about all the cutsie things that have happened to him, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief right now, because from the outset, Bo lets readers know he was the subject of a “revenge adoption.” That Bo is a dog with a dark side is confirmed in the chapter Enema of the State. Yet he is, after all, a dog, a chien, a perro, so it’s fitting that the last chapter of his first book be The Old Shoe. Bo’s human daddy, the actual author of this novel, meanwhile, is Horst Hoefinger. While you could wonder whether Horst doesn’t have a little German shepherd in his bloodline, he is actually the brains behind the For Love of Dog Blog. One recent entry there shows a dog wearing a life vest and riding a surf board. If you want really to feel that level of canine freedom for yourself, read this rocking, barking book!

Product Features
“Witty commentary and hilarious observations.”–Dog Living
Let’s get this clear right away: I’m a dog. I’m 1′10″ and weigh 63 lbs, and although I’m a mutt on the outside, I’m a purebred on the inside. My good nature comes from the Golden Retriever side of the family, while my stubbornness is clearly from my Chowchow bloodlines. I’ve got Rastafarian ears, a black tongue for licking, and paws that should be on a dog twice my size.
I type 60 words a minute.
My name is Bo, and this is my story.
