Description
"A madcap, entertaining escape from reality from the canine perspective." -KIRKUS REVIEWS

The human who found me is fine. She feeds me. She cuddles me. She puts a roof over my head. But I do not appreciate being held captive. Because I have the intelligence of a human. And I aim to find out why.
Accompanied by Shakespeare, a Pug with the intelligence of a Pug, I run away from home, embarking on an epic quest for freedom, understanding, and, quite possibly, revenge.
Together we must survive a harsh desert of cannibalistic coyotes, stray humans, a fugitive white tiger, and one hypnotic beacon that shines from a city of sin, luring us back into so-called civilization.
My name is Rousseau. I seek the truth. Even if it means I lose my mind...

Full of imagination and humor, The Second-Smartest Dog That Ever Lived is a dog book like no other, with a canine narrator who questions the value of human society, and a dog’s place within it.

Wow. Just, wow. The places this story went were very unexpected, and not always enjoyable, but always captivating. If you are a pet owner, you've probably wondered what your dog was thinking or maybe even wished to have the ability to speak to them. This satisfied that wish while also leaving the curiosity of if that's really what it would be like. The personalities of every animal was written beautifully. I became attached to characters quickly and was cheering or cringing for them the entire time. This book was honestly amazing.
