The Pet Dog Democratic
Party Manifesto
The 2015 general election seems to have been going on since 2010. If you want an antidote to the boring platitudes from boring platitudinarians then look no further. This book has parts which are laugh-out-loud funny. It starts with an interesting alternative to shaking hands based on the behaviour of dogs and it gets funnier.
In addition there is a sustained and persistent political satire. You will notice I avoided the adjective "dogged". It is a gentle satire but none the less effective for that.
I would not dream of suggesting Rosemary J Kind is barking (after all she publishes my short stories). I will just say that it is a good thing Alfie Dog has a level head on his shoulders.
Buy this book.
