WAY TO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
I just finally had a chance to sit down and read some of this book and it has got to be the most unique book I have ever read. and of course being dyslexic and at least 50% southern, the way the book was written made it easier for me to read than any other book I have read in the past!

A buffet of humorous dog vignettes:
If you're a devoted dog lover--or even tolerant of the antics of dogs--you'll probably enjoy this book of amusing "letters" written by a dog to his relatives and friends. (Well, it was actually ghost written by his master.) Since most of the stories are 2 to 4 pages long, this makes a great bedside or bathroom book. The stories are in no particular order, so you can easily jump around or move on, depending on whether the story fits your mood or sense of humor. The book is suitable for all ages.... more info
Bassets:
Basset Hounds are very funny dogs in many ways. DEER AINT PEGGY is a very different book about the life and times of one basset. A must for anyone who owns or has owned a Basset Hound(s).
Looking at the world through a dog's eyes!:
I found "Deer Aunt Peggy" to be a delightful book! It is easy to read (it's hard to put it down once you start reading it). I found it to be
entertaining and very funny! I especially enjoyed the story about "Bob gets the short straw." If you've ever had your dog look at you and you
wondered what he was thinking, this is the book for you! I highly recommend it to everyone! Ideal summer reading!
