    About this audiobook

    The popular actor and New York Times bestselling author returns with a second charming, hilarious book about the enduring wisdom of dogs.

    John O'Hurley has always had a dog by his side-as a boy growing up in New England, and now as a husband, father, actor, television show host, and author in Los Angeles. To him, dogs are more than our best friends. They are also some of our most valuable and enlightened teachers.

    Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework is written as a series of letters from O'Hurley's wise old Maltese, Scoshi, to his new baby son, William. In each letter, Scoshi shares observations on what it takes to be a man. O'Hurley then responds, including humorous remarks on what Scoshi meant to say, and offers more tales to illustrate each point.

    At once poignantly moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework will delight dog lovers of all ages.

      This humorous work provides an imaginative framework for serving up nuggets of wisdom. If you can make the leap that a family dog is imparting insights about life, you'll find this a breezy and quite enjoyable book.
