A New York Times bestseller? Oh, you know the dogs weren’t going to let the cats get away with that! This canine companion to I Could Pee on This, the beloved volume of poems by cats, I Could Chew on This will have dog lovers laughing out loud. Doggie laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their hidden motives, and their eternal (and sometimes misguided) effervescence through such musings as “I Dropped a Ball,” “I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House,” and “Can You Smell That?” Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all their magnificence, I Could Chew on This is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable appetite, and, yes, creative genius.

Hahahahahahaha
Incisive insights from your best friend. Original copy I purchased at an airport newsstand and it was past on, and on, and on. Great gift and a good hearty laugh.

I smiled, I laughed, my spirits were lifted.
I love a good dog book and by good I mean one that doesn’t make me cry. This fit the bill perfectly. My favorite poems were definitely the ones involving separation anxiety and not getting doggy dinner served on time. I can so relate.Anyway, this cute little book would make a great gift for both dog lovers and friends and family who think us dog owners have gone off the deep end (really surprise them and get your dog to autograph it for them). It offers great insight into the canine mind and some adorable doggy pics too. Now I’m hooked on dog poetry! I think I’ll read “Throw The Damn Ball” next. I can always use a good laugh.

I could chew on this
This is so cute! Itâs poems and thoughts of what our dogs are supposedly thinking. I donât know how many of them I was like, âOh thatâs Minnie!, or Mollie, or OMG thatâs Max!â. I definitely recommend to just put a smile on your face!

This is truly a dog lovers’ book.
I received this book for my birthday. And each time I reread it brings a smile to my face and sometimes a tear to my eyes. We have adopted/rescuer 6 dogs (Jack Russel’s, Golden Retrievers and Pekingese) over several years. Every dog no matter what breed they have individual personalities and issues. This little book helps you to keep things in prospective.

For anyone who has ever loved a dog
I found the book to have a slow start but half way through, I was laughing out loud and shaking my head “yes”, in relating some of the antics in the book to experiences that I have had with my beloved dogs, present and past. The book is light reading, the accompanying photos are very much a plus. Although this book has lots of laughs, it also gives insight and food for thought. The poem “Just a Head’s Up” is a perfect example. It goes: ” Every time man forces one dog to fight another dog God moves one step closer to handing the world over to the roaches.” That one really hit home, living in North Florida where dog fighting is, indeed, “illegal” but somehow seems to slip by anyway. It’s a shame that those responsible, probably, will not be reading this book. Well, maybe, someday the reaches will learn to read…..

If you like dogs and have a sense of humor, you will love this small book.
This is absolutely marvelous. If dogs could talk (and write poetry), this is what you’d expect from them. All of these poems are charming, and some are laugh-out-loud funny, but any human with a dog companion can actually imagine his or her pet saying these things (if they could speak English, of course). If you’re good at deciphering what your dog means by its body language, you’ve probably already been the recipient of at least a few of these doggy proclamations–only they weren’t written in words. Francesco Marciuliano, the author, also wrote the bestseller, “I Could Pee on This,” which I now must read.

All are relatable. Some go till the point to make you laugh while others are okayish. I dont read poems that much so i cannot appreciate the content in its form but i can relate to everything thats written and i loved reading it. Good short read to pass time.

This is absolutely the best little coffee table book about dogs on the market. I lent this to a family of three girls a year ago. When I needed it back to return it to the owner, asked their mom if she knew where it was. She said yes they lie in bed together and read it every night. She knew exactly where it was!!!

Sweet poems for dog lovers. I bought this book to read before I actually wrap it up and give it to my niece for her birthday. Does that make me a bad person? My dog wouldn’t think so!
