Bad Dogs Have More Fun is an unforgettable collection of more than seventy-five newspaper articles from The Philadelphia Inquirer written by former columnist John Grogan. Combining humor, wit, poignancy, and affection, these columns provide insight into the intriguing and wonderful world we live in. Whether it be writing about animals (from dogs to elephants to geese!), powerful and moving comments about his own and other families, trenchant comments on life's foibles and farces, or his interviews and interactions with people who are memorable and unusual in their own right, John Grogan makes us laugh--he makes us cry--he makes us think.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Good Column Writing, Not so Good Book -
Never having been exposed to John Grogan's writing before (nope, didn't read Marley and Me), my initial reaction to this book was a positive one. Grogan has an easy sense of humor, an eye for what concerns the citizens that live in his city, and more fair-mindedness than many a columnist.
Grogan's topics appeal to the emotions more than to the cerebrum; he might be said to have an incisive heart rather than an incisive mind. At his strongest when he discusses topics such as aging or dying parents, adventures with his kids, the travails of pet ownership, and the joys of raising a family, he is on a weaker basis when he strays into rants on littering, smoking, cell phone use while driving. With the former subjects, he sounds like a good-natured person that has accumulated some wisdom along the way. With the latter subjects...he sounds more like a cranky old man that likes to bark more loudly but less effectively than his departed retriever, Marley.
I like to download audiobooks (for free!) from our local public library, and listen to them while exercising, bike commuting, or doing the more brain-numbing aspects of housework, and this book was one of my choices. It was decent, sometimes funny enough to make me laugh out loud, and occasionally effective enough to make me misty-eyed (his stories of special needs kids overcoming obstacles are great). But a different collection of essays published in a book, NPR's This I Believe, was far more inspiring and thought-provoking. The three star average rating for this book is right where it should be.

animal stories -
Great book. If you read Marley and Me by John Grogan, you will enjoy this book.
John Grogan had a column in the Philadelphia Inquirer and one of the things he wrote about were dogs. This book is a collection of those columns. It is a fast read and absolutely hilarious, especially if you are an animal lover. He also talks his family and life in general in a very humorous way.
Skip This -
I'm a lover of all things dog related, but this is just too much. While this was written by Grogan, I'm pretty sure he isn't behind this book, and for that reason alone I won't buy it for anyone. Like another reviewer, I'm giving this away. I'm not even going to try and sell it.
Not about dogs -
My husband gave me the audio book for Christmas and we just took it on vacation to listen to in the car. We were disappointed that we listened to it for over an hour without one dog story. I'm selling it off without finishing listening to it.

Misleading Title -
I'm sure I was not the only one mislead by the title. I bought the book hoping for stories on dogs that would take me on a roller coaster ride. There are some valuable op-ed articles in this book, but it certainly wasn't what I expected when I bought it.
