Inhaltsangabe

<div>The book Joan Rivers calls &#147;my dog bible,&#8221; Woof! is the quintessential queer guide for dog lovers, offering a hilarious take on gay dog ownership unlike any other book out there! Author Andrew De Prisco and illustrator Jason O&#8217;Malley have created a LGBTQ classic that defines the 28 &#147;breeds&#8221; of gay men and recommends which breeds are best for each. From Drag Queen and All-American Boy to Twink, Leatherman, and Log Cabin Queer, every gay man will find advice and hilarity on every page of this award-winning gift book. (For gay men who are not sure of their breed, there is a temperament sorter to help determine their homo DNA.) In addition to being a breed-selection guide for the dog-loving Q-set, Woof! provides no-nonsense information about how to purchase a dog from a breeder, bringing the puppy home, training, caring, and feeding for the dog. It also offers tongue-in-cheek pointers along the lines of choosing the best gay name for the puppy, shopping for extravagant accessories, throwing a gay puppy shower (for the gifts!), hiring the right staff to take care of the puppy, and using the well-cared-for dog as a man magnet. DePrisco, who has been actively involved in the dog world (and gay world) for over two decades, has tapped all his doggy resources to bring readers the most fabulous advice from some of the nation&#8217;s Top Dog Men, including breeders of Westminster Best in Show winners, world-revered judges, and international canine experts. The chapter &#147;Studs and Bitches: The Secret Sex Lives of Dogs&#8221; addresses hot topics such as homosexual dogs, promiscuity in the dog world, and getting unleashed and hooking up at dog parks. In the book&#8217;s final chapter ,&#147;The Rainbow Tour: Stepping Out in Gay Society,&#8221; the author throws a virtual pride parade of doggy activities, from the &#252;ber-queer world of dog shows to vacations, gay resorts, and camping (with actual tents!). The true message of the book&#151;beyond the campy humor, wildly funny illustrations, and off-color remarks&#151;rings out from every page: Woof! is for everyone who wants to be the most responsible and devoted dog owners on the planet.<br></div>
