Dear Frankie What Dogs Really Think

Dear Frankie is a collection of letters selected from a humourous weekly newspaper column written by a dog named Frankie. Frankie advises dogs from all walks of life about their social and emotional problems. The letters provide first-paw accounts of what dogs think about living with humans who treat them like children and family members, dress them up, and make them sleep in crates, and about having friends and romantic partners who confuse and exhaust them. Some of the letters ask questions about what humans say and do, like why they have wars, change their name after they are adopted, or say they are their forever family and then dump them when the going gets tough. Despite the growls, barks, and judgments aired in these letters, most dogs admit they live cushy lives and have families that love and care for them far beyond their wildest dreams.
