Adopt-A-Dog Book giveaway

October is National Adopt-A-Dog Month, and to celebrate, Hatchette have kindly offered a delightful book pack including the following doggie themed books:

Katie Up and Down the Hall By Glenn Plaskin
Oogy By Larry Levin
GoD and DoG By Wendy Francisco
Dog Tags By David Rosenfelt
How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend By The Monks of New Skete

This giveaway is open to the US and Canada addresses only (sorry dog lovers in other parts of the world - I'll get something for you soon) and no PO Boxes. I'll choose a winner with my famous random selection tool on the 10th of November.  To enter, just send me an email with your postal address and the subject line "adopt-a-dog giveaway."  You can also enter by commenting on this post, but you might like to keep your postal address private (I'll delete all emails once I've chosen a winner).

Happy doggie month all you dog lovers.  With all the chickens and bunnies running around my place, a dog wouldn't be such a good idea, but I send dog wishes to you nonetheless, and also recommend that you celebrate by reading Paul Auster's terrific Timbuktoo if you haven't already.  Mr Bones is the perfect literary dog protagonist.

  5. My sister's dog is very old and in poor health. I'd like to win these books and send them to my sis for Christmas. I'm sure she'd enjoy them and I'd like to cheer her up.

  6. My rescue dog is fearless and small but thinks that he must be as large as a German Shepherd. He runs like the wind and is very industrious. rojosho(at)hotmail(dot)com

  15. My husband & I adopted a Rottweiler last year. She is the first dog we have ever adopted & we couldn't have been any luckier to find such a loving, intelligent, well mannered dog. She is truly a blessing!

  20. Thank you for helping to raise awareness about dog adoption and animal adoption. We have 3 cats and a dog. Three were adopted from the Detroit humane society. Our dog was a "Special Needs "resuce. We had to sign additional paper work for her stating that we were told about the extent of her abuse. 3 years later, she has become a loving friendly dog.
