A Complete Introduction to Golden Retrievers

Description

A Complete Introduction to Golden Retrievers presents itself as the most comprehensive, authoritative guide to the breed ever published. It covers everything from lineage and temperament to dietary needs and training techniques with the earnest tone of a definitive reference work. The title promises a definitive resource for the devoted owner, and it delivers — in the most unexpectedly funny way.\n\nHere is the twist: the book is fiction. The comedy comes from the deadpan parody of overly earnest dog manuals, where the authority of the prose clashes with the absurdity of its contents. It is a delightful work of satire that will make any dog lover laugh at the genre conventions it so perfectly imitates. A classic of humor that belongs on every shelf.
