“We are very fond of books. You can learn nearly everything from them that rabbits can't teach you.”
Alan Snow, Here Be Monsters! (1)

“What is a dog?
A dog is a four-legged animal that eats, sleeps, runs around, and smells when wet! It has a nose, a tail for wagging, and strange ears. These ears can hear food from half a mile away, but cannot hear 'NO' from three feet. If you throw something for a dog, he may go and get it, but he's not very likely to give it back - this is called "Fetch." Dogs also make a lots of noise, have wet noses, sticky tongues, and many disgusting habits.”
Alan Snow, How Dogs Really Work!
