Stephen Huneck’s beloved black Labrador, Sally, has spawned a whole series of successful children’s books, as well as woodcut prints, mugs, T-shirts, stationery, sculpture, tote bags, and even rugs, but the genesis of this world was his now-classic first book, My Dog’s Brain. In it, Huneck illustrates the predicaments, pleasures, and appetites that make up a dog’s life, whether it’s sleeping on the couch, stealing a lick from an ice cream cone, or barking for no good reason.

This book is a charming and poignant protrait illustrating the predicaments, pleasures, and appetites that make up a dog's life.  Sally enjoys life!  She is not caught up in the cares and concerns of daily existence.  Free from the existential dilemmas that face her human companions.  She understands wisely that "life is a ball."  She lives for love, loyalty, and the pleasures of the moment.  Sally is a sort of canine eyeryman, encounters temptation and, like most of us, occasionally rules in favor of those gnawing appetites and persistant pangs.  She is neigher a good dog nor a bad dog, but rather a constant source of unconditional love.  Always knowing your innermost needs and always true.  You just have to understand the way a dog thinks.  
This a perfect gift for Huneck fans and dog lovers who are curious as to just how their best friends really tick.

This is a signed 1st edition HB/DJ book.
