Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It
From the New York Times bestselling author —and his dog— more woofs of wisdom

In his first book, John O’Hurley wrote of the many life lessons he’d learned from dogs—lessons that carried him from the New England woods of his childhood to his life today as an award-winning actor, composer, and writer amidst the bright lights of Hollywood. Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, John once again finds himself seeking the wisdom of a canine companion. After years of parenting pets, last December, he became a father to his first child, William. Along with the many new joys of being a dad, John faced a new set of challenges—and it was Scoshi, his wizened white Maltese and faithful confidant for nearly two decades, who, at every turn, pointed the way.

At once poignant, profound, and laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the joys of parenting pets and children alike, and further testament to the enduring wisdom of man’s best friend.

“A whimsical delight.”

“Lighthearted self-help.”
