I recommend reading “Bad to the bone.” Join this incorrigible canine as he welcomes us into his life, complete with his wacky parents, a constipated feline housemate, and chipmunk warfare. Get ready for an unforgettable, laugh-out-loud tale of love and loyalty that reveals the true heart of a modern American family. It’s 100% funny, 100% true. The book is dedicated to rescue and shelter workers who make this world a better place and a portion of the proceeds go to help homeless animals. $10.17 |   |
