I Didn't Do It

What makes a puppy's day complete?

Swimming and then shaking water all over you. Catching presents for you and then bringing them inside the house. Rolling in your nice wool sweater. Snuggling in your lap.

In their second ode to canine companions, Patricia MacLachlan, Emily MacLachlan Charest, and Katy Schneider once again offer an irresistible glimpse into the mischievous canine mind. Captured here are adorable confessions and spirited accounts of the things that puppies do--and don't do--while in search of love, adventure, and treats from the table.
