"My dog sends me texts. Yeah. It’s weird." That's the premise of this hilarious tale of man and dog that's perfect for anyone who has ever had an imaginary conversation with their pet.

When October Jones figured out he could send text messages to himself on his mobile phone, he naturally decided that the best use of this discovery was to send passive-aggressive messages to himself under the guise of his bulldog. And so the exasperating, slightly delusional, and utterly endearing Dog and his alter ego BatDog were born.

Texts from Dog features Dog’s attempts to keep the neighborhood safe from the likes of Mr. Postman and his arch-nemesis Cat-Cat—he has managed to smash only three TVs and a patio door in the process. And in between crime-fighting sprees and run-ins with the squirrel mafia, there are romantic interludes with pillows, fetch sessions gone terribly awry, and the abusive banter only a bromance between man and his text-savvy dog can spawn.

Texts from Dog will make you laugh out loud and perhaps even make you think twice about leaving your pet home alone for the day.

Disappointing
1 out of 5 stars
Disappointing
I bought this as a gift. Due to the nature of the gift it needed to be pretty clean with classy humor. I screened several options but passed on them due to the examples provided. The biggest disappointment is that the examples provided with this "ad" have been edited. Not only does it change the tone of the humor, it has tons of cursing and generally tacky language through the whole thing. If that type of thing doesn't bother you then you will probably love it. I now have to order another calendar and wasted money on this one. I wish I would have known, super irritated!!!!

    I was very excited to read that the texts from dog tumblr was going to be available in book format, even more excited to see the kindle option. Unfortunately it seems Mr. Jones's book was not successful enough for him to quit his day-job, but hopefully he will resume updating his website soon. It really is worth living up, it reminds me of the comic panel books of yesteryear, except it's text based, a very interesting twist. If you aren't sure you'll like it, check out his website, this book is just (thankfully) more of that.

    You're reading along and it's funny and all but you're just chuckling and THEN, you hit a ridiculously funny text and suddenly it's one of the funniest little books you've ever read. I gave it as a christmas present to someone in my house because I secretly wanted to read it too. A great gift for the discerning dog owner whose pet texts him at work :-)

    If you've read the Text from Dog Blog posts or liked him on Facebook - you're going to love this book. This, although the American Version, is distinctly British and is hilarious from the first page - the 'Introdogtion' right through to the end. Bonus drawings of Dog in various situations illustrate the texts they go with and each page has two text screens on each. (Unless one or more have been replaced with an illustration) So many Dog owners, myself included, will see their own dog in Dog's view of the world and the author's insight into the Canine Experience leaves one wondering if he isn't part Dog himself!

    I have been a fan of Texts from Dog for quite some time on Tumblr, so when I heard that they were releasing a book, I went ahead and pre-ordered it. It is everything I have come to expect from Texts from Dog. Some of them were old and I have definitely seen them before but most were actually new. All of them, whether old or new were definitely hilarious!

    This excellent book will sit on my coffee table to entertain my friends, family and I for years to come!

    Every time I read this, I laugh so hard I snort, especially since I can envision my bulldog doing all of the things in this hysterical little book. Have given a couple of copies as gifts to fellow dog lovers, and it's been an out-of-the-park hit each time. Perfect thing to just pick up for a few minutes when you just want a laugh - keep it someplace where your guests can give it a look, and you'll have hilarious conversation fodder for hours.

    If you have never heard of texts from dog you are missing out.

    The book is filled with hilarious texts between a man and his dog. Most of this you can find on the internet but I bought this book for grandparent that does not have access to the Internet.

    This book will make you laugh and is a great gift for the dog lover in your life
