Does Randy Grim-whose urban dog shelter, Stray Rescue, recently won $1,000,000 in the ZooToo Shelter makeover contest, and who is now starring in the corresponding reality series, Rescue Me-really think "bad dog owners" means bad people who own dogs? Or people who own bad dogs? Grim is a straight shooter, and he doesn't really care about the semantics of that phrase. What he cares about is helping people keep their dogs. As anyone who's ever worked in a dog shelter or the dog rescue world knows, there are a million reasons a person might "return" a dog. Everything from barking too much, licking the baby, being overprotective, getting in the garbage, and growing too large can be grounds for dismissal. (Like that's really the dog's fault ) This prescriptive but very entertaining book takes the format of a doggie "Dear Abby," with specific complaints from readers who are prepared to dump their dogs. Grim uses his signature wit and style to advise these hapless dog owners. And along the way, readers won't be able to help but learn a thing or two about our canine companions.
