This small book is about the thoughts of our long-haired dachshund derived from the inquisitive look in his eyes as he humorously tells us about some highlights of his life. It especially enumerates his observations and concerns about some of the "Rules" that only dogs must live by.

We (the author and his wife) have had a dog for most of our 53+ year married life, but little MacDougal seemed to have a personality all his own, more so than our previous pets. He was more demanding and during his time with us seemed to have these questions in his little mind. He probably had more, but these I wrote down with no real plans of actually putting them into a book. However, a few years later, after having written several other books and having them published, I thought that others might enjoy these thoughts, and other dog owners would identify with "Little Mac's" observations. Once I decided that it might be good to do the project, several more years evolved before meeting Penny Medders and her introducing me to one of her art students, J.P. Creamer. I simply explained what I wanted to express in each drawing, and he did an excellent job of creating the images. These were actually his rough drafts from which he intended to make the final drawings, but I liked what he had, and for the purposes of this book, I felt that they would serve quite well. I hope you, your children, and grand-children enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed working on it. Perhaps one of your pets will have a similar idea and can write their own book or add to this one
