Description

Dog· tol· o· gy
noun
1. The belief in Dog.
2. The system of rituals, practices, and behaviors engaged in by Dogtologists.

Chew on this. As humans, we have a deep need to believe . . . a need to relate to something greater and more ideal than ourselves. Perhaps that’s why so many millions believe in Dog. Man’s devotion to Dog has come to rival the great -isms and -ologies of the world. This has gone way beyond a hobby. We may not literally worship Dogs, but we come pawfully close. This rabid reverence for Rover has a name: It’s called Dogtology. Dogtology is for the dog lover who has bailed on a date because they didn’t want Twinkles to be left home alone, for the human whose dog owns a more festive holiday wardrobe than they do, those whose pups dine on free-range bison burgers while they live off ramen, or whose smartphones have more photos of their dog than of the humans in their family.

Live. Bark. Believe. Dogtology is a humorous exploration of man’s fanatical devotion to Dog. In this book, Lazarus makes the case that Dogtology has become a bone-a-fide belief system on par with the world’s great philosophies and religions.

A Note From the Publisher

One night while out to dinner on a first date, the author was asked, “What’s your religion?” Without thinking, he blurted out jokingly, “Dogtology.” As he later thought about his response, he realized there was more truth to it than he’d intended—he didn’t just love dogs, he adored them. All his life, he has been a dog advocate, dog rescuer, and dog whisperer. That’s right; dogs talk to him. (In fact, Dog told him to write this book.)

Advance Praise

I think the concept of Dogtology is as fresh and unique as Chicken Soup For The Soul was two decades ago.

Dogs are more than just part of our lives; they're fully integrated into our society. And a good number of us are devoted to them, sometimes fanatically so. We own them, we talk about them, we watch movies about them, we read books about them. Lazarus calls it Dogtology, a belief system that he explains in this humorous book. Whimsical and funny, Lazarus also tries to answer the big questions, such as: What is it with dogs and fire hydrants?
