my dog: the paradox

　　擠下《格雷的50道陰影》，躍升排行榜冠軍的《別相信任何貓》作者全新力作！
　　全球70萬網友按讚加持，紙本版全彩更精彩！

　　《別相信任何貓》暢銷作者，仔細觀察自己的狗Rambo整整一年之後，決定為這種四隻腳、毛絨絨、活力四射、總是開心地搖著尾巴，被稱為「人類最好的朋友」的動物寫書。這本《In My Dog: The Paradox》延續前作的爆笑幽默感，描寫了許多狗兒不可思議的行為，例如非常喜愛滾在馬的便便上、追逐體型比自己大許多倍的動物、總是用全副的精神與體力去做喜歡的事……。

　　我們也許難以解釋為什麼狗狗會怕吹風機，或是對貓類莫名畏懼，但當你讀完這本教人忍俊不住，甚至是心有戚戚焉的小書後，或許就能體會狗與人之間一言無法蔽之的複雜關係。如作者所言，牠們的生命短暫、行為舉止毫無邏輯，但是，牠們對世界上所有人事物都抱持著無限的熱情、隨時充滿好奇，或許正因為如此，才讓人那麼愛牠啊！（文／博客來編譯）

作者簡介

　　Matthew Inman經營圖文網站TheOatmeal.com，網站上所有的文字、漫畫、故事都由他創作。該網站每個月有700萬造訪人次，25萬網站友好連結。Matthew現在跟他的狗Rambo跟Beatrix一起住在西雅圖。

　　Matthew Inman dishes another helping of hilarity from his online comic The Oatmeal in My Dog: The Paradox. After years of carefully observing his own dog, Rambo, Inman follows his #1 New York Times best-selling How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You, with this ode to the furry, four-footed, tail-wagging bundle of love and unbridled energy frequently dubbed man’s best friend.

　　This eponymous comic became an instant hit when it went live on The Oatmeal.com and was liked on Facebook by 700,000 fans. Now fans will have a keepsake book of this comic to give and to keep.

　　In My Dog: The Paradox, Inman discusses the canine penchant for rolling in horse droppings, chasing large animals four times their size, and acting recklessly enthusiastic through the entirety of their impulsive, lovable lives. Hilarious and heartfelt, My Dog: The Paradox eloquently illustrates the complicated relationship between man and dog.

　　We will never know why dogs fear hair dryers, or being baited into staring contests with cats, but as Inman explains, perhaps we love dogs so much “because their lives aren’t lengthy, logical, or deliberate, but an explosive paradox composed of fur, teeth, and enthusiasm.”
