Product Description
"From the New York Times bestselling author, a second charming and hilarious book about the enduring wisdom of dogs From the New England woods of his childhood to the manicured lawns of Los Angeles, John O'Hurley has never known life without the pleasure of a dog by his side. Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, the well-known and well-loved actor, host, and New York Times bestselling author shares more lessons learned from a life with canine companions. Each of this book's chapters is written in the form of a letter by O'Hurley's wise, old Maltese (Scoshi), addressing O'Hurley's new baby son (William), sharing Scoshi's observations on what it takes to be a man. O'Hurley then responds to Scoshi in each chapter, including humorous remarks on what Scoshi meant to say, and offers more tales from growing up to illustrate each point. At once poignantly moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Before the Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It is a must-read for the dog lover on everyone's holiday shopping list."

 Pleasant surprise! July 12, 2008
I bought this book just because I like dogs - however, what a pleasant surprise! O'Hurley (or Scoshi...) says things that make you stop and think about, things that you agree with because you also have lived them, felt them; you just had never stopped to think about. Totally worth reading.
Cute Book April 1, 2008
As both a parent and dog lover, I enjoyed this book. Had some very realistic advice in it. Hope his son enjoys it when he gets older.
Quick read..took about an hour to finish.

Before Your Dog can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It: Life Lessons From a Wise Old Dog to a Young Boy discusses many lessons the author's learned from dogs, which carried him from the New England woods of childhood to his successful life in Hollywood. It was his dog who pointed the way to wisdom - and who, he says, wrote on small scraps of paper some words of wisdom - Scoshi's life lessons for father and son, from a wise old dog. This parent's insights and advice is purposeful, directed and easy to absorb.
A thoroughly delightful and satsfying read December 4, 2007

John O'Hurley's sophomore novel is a breath of fresh air! Okay, he claims it was written by his dog, Scoshi, with only a bit of commentary added by him for clarification. Regardless, this is a wonderful book filled with laughter, tears, and solid advice to a little man from a little dog and his loving father.
Just as charming as his first book. November 9, 2007

The visual image of Mr. O'Hurley's sweet little dog writing notes and placing them under the foot of the Big Blue Elephant is priceless. The notes themselves are clear and direct, as dogs are wont to be. They form the basis for the chapters which are filled with wisdom, laughter and tears. This is a beautiful love letter from a devoted father to his beloved son. Whether you love a dog or another person, I feel certain you'll be deeply touched by this delightful book.
