 THE DOGS ARE JUST ADORABLE ... November 4, 2005
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I agree with the other reviewers that this book is not in the same league as Jim Edgar's BAD CAT, but you gotta admit the dogs are adorable ... doo-doo and drool or not!
I recommend that parents check it out to see if any of the "bath-room humor" is too offensive for their children.
My children are all grown, so I bought it for myself ... I enjoy a good laugh, and the doggie photos made me laugh out loud.

If it's true that humans and canines have been hanging out together for 14,000 years, then this book is looooong overdue. These dogs have been wearing our pajamas, our bunny ears, our glasses, and French cuffs, our wigs and our sweaters, our jeans and our muffs for fourteen doggone centuries now, and it's high time that we chronicle their impertinence, their clumsy attempts to assimilate, and even impersonate us, so that their treachery can be seen for what it is. I mean, for dog's sake, these things are even thinking our thoughts, now. They're shop-lifting. They're wife-swapping. They're reading Eudora Welty. They seem to know no bounds and it has got to stop!! We must be very clear about who is still the Boss on this planet, once and for all. Rosen, Pritchett, and Battles have done a great service for humanity because one look at this book will convince you that deep down, these dogs are just bad to the bone.
 Funny, But a Bit Much October 12, 2005
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed reading this book in Borders, but I did notice it has more sexual- and body function-related humor than BAD CAT, its predecessor. I'm not offended by that kind of humor (although I don't usually find bathroom humor all that amusing), but it left me feeling the book didn't belong in the same class as BAD CAT.
I was glad to see BAD DOG, being a dog lover, but I wish it had been as funny as BAD CAT. I can see where some parents wouldn't want their kids to read this book. Still, there are some funny photos and pages, so it's worth a peek for the adults or older kids.
 all bark, no bite October 5, 2005

nice try, but Bad Dog is barking up the wrong tree in trying to copy Jim Edgar's Bad Cat book. The humor is distinctly lower class, more puerile and scatological, far less funny. We all know cats rule and dogs drool, but did they have to prove it with this pitiful knock off?
Too generous with the urinal jokes. September 28, 2005
9 out of 14 found this review helpful
I have seen better jokes on the toilet stall at Hooters' and I am a lady. If I thought this would be funny like the original I was sorley mistaken.
This is like all sequels: copy the forumula and hire a c-list director and d-list screenwriters. But it always misses the mark set by the original and in THIS CASE badly.
bad dogs are not funny, but these dogs are not bad! Just dressed in costumes. This is supposed to be hilarious? According to the outside of the book it is supposed to be SHOCKING! Dogs peeing is shocking? dogs in a dress is SHOCKING?
I am all for the anthromorphisation (sic) of animals in books where it is fitting and interesting but this seems like bored college kids sitting around drinking beer saying the same jokes over and over. Like dude I pooped on the lawn! HAR HAR HAR!
Come on guys, hire adults to write humor. They may be more expensive, but they have more than 3 brain cells combined. I know this because I am one.
Save your money on this and get it at the Goodwill, it is sure to appear there soon. I got it for a gift and gave it away already.
