This is a hysterical story about a somewhat loser - ish guy with a Peter Pan complex and his relationships with women and his four talking dogs. The primary character in the book, Jimmy, is a dog. His owner discovers him giving seminars on how to understand and manipulate humans to the other dogs on his block. Jimmy's insight into humans in laugh out loud funny! Jimmy goes through an identity crisis when he realizes that he is, in fact, a dog.
Gale, his human owner, doesn't have many character traits to recommend him. He is a loser that never achieved much with his life and who treats women horribly - to say the least. He even goes so far as to exploit his dogs, especially Jimmy. In the end though, he does realize what impact his actions have on others and the importance of his relationship with his dogs.
Even though the main human character isn't very appealing, this book is well worth the read for the canine conversations alone!
