My Father the Dog
by Elizabeth Bluemle; illustrated by Randy Cecil
I know I left this book around here someplace. Dang. We cleaned out the office and now I can't find a thing.
Anyway.
This book is, ahem, about a father. And the dog. And how they were pretty much separated at birth. The daughter makes her case pretty convincingly, pointing out how Dad fetches the newspaper, retrieves balls and investigates everything.
We don't have a dog but now I realize that's because we don't need one. Sit! Roll over! Do laundry!
Though our family mascot is a little more likely to appreciate a good back rub than a scratch behind the ears, that's okay. We're keeping him.
Happy Father's Day, honey. Good boy!
