Doggie laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their hidden motives, and their eternal (and sometimes misguided) effervescence through such musings as, "I Dropped a Ball," "I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House," and, "Can You Smell That?" Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all their magnificence, I Could Chew on This is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable appetite, and, yes, creative genius that lwill have dog lovers laughing out loud. Hardcover; 112 pages.
