Product Description

Daily Express, Friday 7th December
"How Blake leaps all hurdles to become Top Dog will have you laughing all the way to the dog's home." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
Blake is a loveable mongrel just trying to lead a happy life; he loves his owner, fiercely defends his territory against interlopers (including the owner's new lady friend and her cat), does his best to avoid the frequently threatened neutering and spends a lot of his time either scooting across the carpet or chasing local tail. It really is a dog's life, and Blake has kindly taken the time to keep a diary of a year in his own life - providing a hilarious, unputdownable glimpse into the mind and world of your average mutt.This is the very successful diary of Blake the mongrel, now in paperback! It provides what every dog-lover needs for a summer read! It features fantastic quirky illustrations throughout. It is a unique addition to the always-popular diary genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, humorous book, 13 Nov 2007

By	Julie Bolitho - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Bad Dog's Diary: A Year in the Life of Blake: Lover... Fighter... Dog (Hardcover)

This little delight was something I perused in the book store and bought as a gift for a relative. I ended up reading it myself and buying eight more to give as Christmas gifts. It's charming and hysterically funny. I laughed so hard in bed reading it that I'd wake my husband. It's a gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Belly Laughs., 9 Oct 2007

By	Sam McMarne "Rabid reader" (london, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bad Dog's Diary: A Year in the Life of Blake: Lover... Fighter... Dog (Hardcover)

An extremely funny book, I actually cried laughing in some parts. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as I am not really a big fan of dogs, but nevertheless it was very entertaining, filled with moments of humour, romance (well, doggy style romance - ha ha) and pathos. Would definately recommend it to anyone.
