About the Book
Our best friends are featured at their most stylish—and silliest—in this hilarious rhyming picture book that’s a perfect gift for dog lovers of any age.
Fancy dogs are elegant and distinguished, but of course, our lovable four-legged friends have many facets. They may have the chicest sweaters, but they still roll in the mud, drink from the toilet, and chew up our favorite shoes. However, that doesn’t make us love our furry friends any less. If anything, their behavior makes the perfect tale for a sweet little book sure to delight anyone whose best friend is fancy pants—and more.
Also available in a Spanish edition: Los perros finos
