USA: Where Dogs Have More Rights Than You Do
Robert Okine
This witty, satirical examination of dogs' rights in each American state spins the carefree lives of man's best friend into a surprising reflection on humanity itself... Okine makes a clear, convincing case that America truly is 'a dog's world.' — BookLife by Publishers Weekly, ★★★★★
A funny and engaging look at American dog culture...Okine has an admirable grasp on the subtle nuances that define each state's unique culture... Still, the engaging narrative more than accomplishes its goal of taking readers on a diverting and amusing canine-themed tour of America - one state at a time, one bark at a time. — Kirkus Reviews
A delightful, informative travel guide for dog lovers... Okine's humorous cultural survey tracks dog culture across the U.S., flush with keen observations in an upbeat tone. — Foreword Clarion Reviews, ★★★★
An alphabetical journey like no other, Okine gives an entertaining and frequently tongue-in-cheek overview of life as a canine in every state across America. With constant flashes of humor and endearing colloquial details that show the author's wit, cleverly combining a pet guide, travel guide, and eye-opening social commentary. — Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
A very funny, easy read which will appeal to all-even if you're not a dog lover... "Forget cupholders-Alabama trucks are built for paws on the dash and tails wagging at full speed." — Reedsy Discovery, ★★★★
Okine's patter is clever...For California, he answers 'Dog, no question. You're a sun-kissed influencer, pampered by fans and you never have to pay for parking.' — BlueInk Review
